For Penn State vs. Indiana, the model projects that the Nittany Lions cover the spread. Penn State had arguably its best performance of the season in the lone meeting between these teams during the regular season, knocking down a school-record-tying 18 3-pointers on 31 attempts in an 85-66 win on Jan. 11. It was the school’s largest margin of victory in a win against Indiana.
Seniors Seth Lundy and Andrew Funk both drilled seven 3-pointers in that game, and Funk leads the conference in 3-pointers this season. Penn State has more momentum coming into the rematch, having won seven of its last eight games to strengthen its NCAA Tournament resume and reach the semifinals of the conference tournament for just the fourth time. The Nittany Lions rank sixth nationally in turnover percentage and eighth in 3-point percentage (38.8).
They committed a season-worst 15 turnovers and hit just five 3-pointers in regulation on Friday, but they were still able to advance past Northwestern. Senior guard Jalen Pickett leads Penn State with 17.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, posting 12 points, eight assists and five rebounds in the first meeting with Indiana. The Nittany Lions have covered the spread at a 6-2-1 clip in their last nine games, and they are covering in over 60% of the model’s latest simulations. Stream the game here.
