Penn State won't make the NCAA tournament, but the Nittany Lions do have their sights set on the NIT, and a win tonight will go a long way toward attaining that goal. Northwestern is only 3-6 straight up on the road, and it already lost at home to the Nittany Lions, 74-70, on Jan. 5. Penn State has won five of the last six meetings, and it has balanced scoring led by Jalen Pickett, who leads four double-figure scorers with 13.0 points per game. The Wildcats had a big win over Rutgers, but they have beaten only Indiana and Nebraska since. The Nittany Lions have covered eight home games in a row, and they are on a 10-4 ATS run overall. Take Penn State.
