Penn State has been playing some great ball in the Big Ten as of late coming off back to back wins against Maryland and Illinois to improve to 14-12 overall and 6-7 in conference. Penn State seems primed to make the NIT and the Nittany Lions have the kind of talent to make a deep run in whatever postseason tournament they potentially make beyond the Big Ten tournament. Penn State has been a developing group this season as a number of underclassmen have taken on large roles. The Nittany Lions spread the ball around liberally with 5 players averaging at least 9 points per game.

Nebraska has largely been competitive throughout conference play, but the Huskers have had their issues with coming through in close games now standing 10-14 overall and 4-8 in the Big Ten.
The Huskers have been a work in progress throughout the regular season, especially on the offensive end where this group ranks just 243rd in the nation in scoring average.

Penn State was very convincing in their last outing on the road against Illinois in a winning effort and the Nittany Lions will try to carry over their recent momentum into this tough test on the road against Nebraska. I like Penn St here with the 3.5 pts.
