The Nittany Lions took down the Hoosiers 85-66 in Happy Valley in January. The Hoosiers have been a different team since that game.
Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet the Hoosiers -3
Trayce Jackson Davis will be the difference in this game. Penn State has a great backcourt, but to win this game, they will have to get hot from three-point range. This game is a risky bet with the Hoosiers favored by just three points. With that being said, I see the Hoosiers creating a little separation at the end of the game to cover this spread. Jalen Hood Schifino will need to come up big against a strong and veteran backcourt for the Nittany Lions, and I think he will.
