Who's Playing
Wagner @ Penn State
Current Records: Wagner 3-1; Penn State 4-4
What to Know
The Penn State Nittany Lions' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Wagner Seahawks at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 8 at Bryce Jordan Center. The Nittany Lions earned a 91-64 win in their most recent contest against Wagner in November of 2019.
The matchup between Penn State and the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Penn State falling 76-64 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. The losing side was boosted by guard Jalen Pickett, who had 23 points. Pickett hadn't helped his team much against the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes last Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Pickett's points were the most he has had all year.
Meanwhile, Wagner made easy work of the Stony Brook Seawolves this past Saturday and carried off a 78-49 win.
Penn State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-5 against the spread when favored.
Wagner's victory lifted them to 3-1 while Penn State's defeat dropped them down to 4-4. We'll see if the Seahawks can repeat their recent success or if the Nittany Lions bounce back and reverse their fortune.
