Penn State Nittany Lions
The Nittany Lions have had a great start to the season. They have lost just once and that was in overtime to the Ole Miss Rebels by just two points. Even though we have yet to officially reach conference play (typically starts in January), the Nittany Lions will have a wonderful opportunity to start their conference schedule strong and a win on the road over the number sixth ranked team would be a huge resume builder.
The offense is clicking for this Penn State team right now as they average 80.6 points per game. This is the 37th ranked scoring offense in the country. They however, do not exactly shoot the ball at an elite level, only averaging 45.2% from the field and 31.4% from the three-point line. Their biggest strength is rebounding the ball. They rank 6th in this category an average 43.8 boards per game.
The leading scorer of this team is Lamar Stevens. He is averaging 17.5 points per game and 7.9 rebounds per game. Behind him are two other guys who average 13.6 and 11.2.

This Ohio State offense is averaging 77.8 points per game. They are shooting 48.3% from the field, which ranks 34th in the country. Their three-point shooting is also in the top 25, sitting at 39.6%.

Besides Wesson, the Buckeyes have seven other players who are averaging at least 7.2 points per game. this really shows how balanced this team is and how pretty much anyone on the roster can make a big impact any given game.
