Penn State -3.5

They haven't really played anyone yet. Not a big team.

Penn State has made 32 more 3s than us (in one less game) at a 40% clip.

They have 3 guys shooting 45%+ on 3s.

Will Hoggard start? Can Mady give us some offense? Can we close out on their guys getting wide open shots?

This looks so much like a repeat of the ND game.

I guess the positive thing is that Izzo has had a week to drill down on defending against the 3.

My guess is Izzo gave Akins a lot of minutes last game because he knows he's going to need him playing well. If we see Aikens playing to the level he played at pre-injury I think that opens up opportunities for the team and I like our chances.

Walker was in foul trouble also. But, I think we'll see Akins get a ton of minutes in small ball lineups. He can be a scorer (shooting 3s and driving), and we need that.

Agreed. He went 1-6 for 3pts vs NW. if he can shake off the rust I think it will help a lot.

So...3s made/game...

Penn State is #1 in the country with 12.1 (#13 in % at 40.4%).

MSU is #209 with 7.2/game.

Jaxon showing up.

That we've already been down double-digits but "fought back" within 4 is bothersome.

Jumped in late and watching the recordings and just caught up. Incredible effort. Thoroughly impressed with Kohler and the guard play is where it needs to be. Great thread Nigel. Good mojo so far.

Played great defense in the 2nd half.

Big win. Needed it. Hopefully Malik is back by the time we have another Big Ten game.
