Penn State vs Rutgers Preview
The Scarlet Knights have won five in a row, and are coming off a 79-62 win over Nebraska. Sophomore guard Ron Harper Jr. leads the team in scoring with 11.7 points a game, while junior guard Geo Baker is second on the team in scoring with 11.4 points. Penn State has a bit more firepower entering this one, however, particularly considering the Scarlet Knights will be without Baker, who is out indefinitely with a thumb injury.
The Nittany Lions are third in the Big Ten in scoring, averaging 81 points a game. The Scarlet Knights are eighth, with 75.4.
Penn State has four players averaging in double figures, led by senior forward Lamar Stevens, who is averaging 16.4 points a game. Myreon Jones (13.8 points), Izaiah Brockington (10.8 points) and Mike Watkins (10.6 points) round out the high-scorers, and they lead a Nittany Lions team that has won five straight. Jones, in particular, has become a threat from downtown, hitting 41% of his shots from beyond the arc.
Jones is one of the better long-range shooters in this game. Neither team is shooting very well from beyond the arc overall this season. Penn State is hitting 31.7% of their three-pointers, and Rutgers is last in the Big Ten, hitting just 29.7% of their shots.
Penn State’s only two losses have come at the hands of Syracuse and a then-sixth ranked Ohio State team. Rutgers will have the edge when it comes to defense, however. The Scarlet Knights are allowing 59.6 points a game, which is third in the conference. The Nittany Lions are giving up 67.4 points per contest, so defense should be crucial in this one. Rutgers just need to find the offensive firepower to hang with Penn State.
The Scarlet Knights do have home-court advantage working for them, however. Rutgers is 10-0 so far at home this season.
