Penn St vs Minnesota

Penn St +3 (-110) *Consensus

I am riding Penn St & Ace Baldwin to the finish line. I have said it multiple times, but the bottom of the Big10 is playing for their chance to make the Big10 tourney and keep their season alive.

Penn St hit an injury bug mid-conference season and shifted thier season. Ace Baldwin got banged up and then Puff Johnson came down with a season ending injury. Then their big-man Niederhauser missed a couple games, including the last one vs Minnesota. Minnesota and Dawson Garcia dominated inside with no bigs for Penn St.... Penn St is the healthiest they will be going forward and I believe they are the much better team. While Garcia may be the best player on the court, he does not have much help.

Yes, Penn St is 0-7 on the road in the Big10... As with much of the Big10, they struggled with cross-country play, getting smoked by USC & UCLA. Outside of that, they have fought in all of the rest when healthy. Hicks, Baldwin, Kern & Dunn provide Penn St with a solid 4 players they can trust. Penn St has been right there against some good competition on the road...

1-point loss @ Iowa

4-point loss @ Rutgers

5-point loss @ Michigan St

4-point loss @ Michigan

Minnesota is better than none of those teams. Penn St can hang. With the added fire to make a postseason push, Baldwin leads the Nittany Lions to a W today. Take the points and let's roll.
