We liked the potential of this Nittany Lions' roster coming into the year and Penn State should be a tougher out in the Big Ten than what they were a season ago. There's no denying Penn State was inconsistent throughout the nonconference, but that's to be expected with a developing group of talent. Penn State closed out the nonconference hot winning in back to back blowouts against Saint John's and Morgan State. Penn State has shown flashes of solid play on both ends of the court and this squad currently ranks around 150th in the nation in both total defense and scoring average. Penn State has tremendous offensive depth with 5 players averaging in double figures scoring with veteran guard Shep Garner leading the team averaging 14.6 points per contest. In what should be competitive matchup we like the home team with the points.
