Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State took a jump up to #54 in KenPom’s latest rankings after an upset at Ohio State and a win over Rutgers over the weekend.
The Ohio State game was an instant classic. Tony Carr banked in the game-winning three after Keita Bates-Diop scored nine points in the final two minutes to tie the game.
Carr has been great all season with over 19 points per game and a three-point percentage over 45 and he was at his best on that particular day.

PSU is 5–5 in the conference and has also won at Iowa earlier in the season, it’s second road win in the conference. This game is a different sort of animal, even compared to winning at previously undefeated OSU.
Carr must stretch that MSU defense, which loves to pack the interior. He, along with Josh Reeves and Shep Garner, are the Nittany Lions’ three outside marksmen. If they aren’t hitting, the Spartans will suffocate Penn State slowly.
Michigan State Spartans
Since losing at home to Michigan three weeks ago, Michigan State has looked just fine in winning its last four games. Sparty won against Indiana, at Illinois and versus Wisconsin, all by double-digits. It won by six at Maryland over the weekend.
Even the offense, which got off to a slow start, looks formidable on paper. Michigan State is shooting almost 52 percent as a team with a three-point percentage over 40.
Five guys are averaging double-figures and Gavin Schilling, who isn’t among that group, is shooting 71.8 percent from the field.

The Spartans’ two losses look like they already might be too many to win the regular season conference crown but there are still games to be played. The Spartans play Purdue for the only time in the regular season on the tenth of February.
