The Penn State Nittany Lions (12-6) will look to snap a four-game skid as they host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (10-8) on Monday evening at Bryce Jordan Center, with tipoff scheduled for 6:30 pm ET on Peacock.
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights come into this matchup riding high on a two-game winning streak. Two games ago, Rutgers pulled off an impressive 75-68 victory over UCLA, and they followed it up with an 85-82 win in their most recent outing. Rutgers held a narrow 40-37 edge at halftime and managed to maintain control through the second half. Ace Bailey shined with an outstanding performance, posting 24 points, 11 rebounds, and two assists. The Scarlet Knights shot a solid 49.3% from the field and an impressive 41.4% from beyond the arc. However, defensive lapses remain an area of concern for this team.
On the other hand, the Penn State Nittany Lions find themselves in a rough patch, having dropped four straight games. Two games ago, Penn State came agonizingly close to victory but ultimately fell short, losing 82-81 to Oregon. In their most recent game against Michigan State, the Lions put up 85 points but were unable to contain their opponent’s offense, giving up 90 points in a frustrating defeat.
