Penn State Faces Tough Indiana Test
9 Dec
Summary
- Penn State begins Big Ten play against Indiana on FS1.
- Freshman Kayden Mingo leads Penn State in key stats.
- Indiana's Tucker DeVries is Big Ten's top shooter.
Penn State is set to begin its Big Ten conference schedule with a challenging road game against Indiana. The Nittany Lions, under coach Mike Rhoades, have shown promise with an 8-1 record, largely due to the standout performance of freshman Kayden Mingo, who leads the team in points, assists, and steals. Their sole loss was a non-conference defeat to Providence.
Indiana, on the other hand, faces Penn State following two consecutive losses. Despite their recent struggles, the Hoosiers boast redshirt senior Tucker DeVries, who has emerged as the conference's most prolific three-point shooter. Both teams were projected to finish low in the Big Ten preseason media poll, adding an element of surprise to this conference opener.
This marks Penn State's second true road game of the season and their only regular-season meeting with Indiana. Fans can catch the action nationally on FS1, with Kevin Kugler and Steve Smith providing commentary from Assembly Hall. The game is scheduled as Penn State's 10th contest of the season.
