When Geary Claxson went down for Penn State a hopeful season was left in disarray. Claxson led Penn State in just about everything, and the result was a lot of losses. They have regrouped, and after six straight losses, have become a tough out at home. They have now won four straight on their own court, which includes a win vs Michigan State. Indiana has struggled mightily on the road all season in conference play. Yes, they are 6-2 on the road in the Big-10, but have been creamed by Michigan State and Wisconsin, and survived vs the worst. They have wins over Northwestern by 3, Ohio State by 6, Illinois by 4 in OT, Minnesota by 5 and Iowa by 3. They have been barely escaping, and now must face a team that has renewed confidence at home, that has shown the ability to win, or at least stay close. We like the Nitany Lions in a possible upset, but at least to stay in the hunt.
