Indiana @ Penn State

Current Records: Indiana 10-2; Penn State 5-5

What to Know

The Indiana Hoosiers are 6-2 against the Penn State Nittany Lions since February of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Sunday. IU and Penn State will face off in a Big Ten battle at 4 p.m. ET at Bryce Jordan Center. The Hoosiers should still be riding high after a win, while the Nittany Lions will be looking to right the ship.

The stars were brightly shining for IU in a 79-61 victory over the Northern Kentucky Norse two weeks ago. It was another big night for IU's forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who had 21 points along with six boards.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Penn State and the Michigan State Spartans three weeks ago was not particularly close, with Penn State falling 80-64. One thing holding Penn State back was the mediocre play of guard Sam Sessoms, who did not have his best game: he finished with 12 points on 6-for-12 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.

IU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

IU's victory brought them up to 10-2 while Penn State's loss pulled them down to 5-5. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Hoosiers are 26th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 15.5 on average. The Nittany Lions have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 355th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 9.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
