To say Penn State is in need of a big win is a bit of an understatement. With their tournament hopes hanging on the fence, things seemed to tip the wrong way in Penn State’s last game out, a home loss to Rutgers in which the Nittany Lions blew a big lead in the second half in a must-win game. Bouncing back may not come easily as Penn State travels to Northwestern, a program that is much more in line for an at-large spot in this year’s big dance with the Big Ten tournament looming next week.
Penn State and Northwestern are meeting for the first and only time during this regular season, although a possible second meeting could come up in the Big Ten tournament next week. But the Nittany Lions have struggled on the road in Big Ten play this season and a win would be a big way to dig out of the hole it dug following its recent loss to the Scarlet Knights.
Here is how to catch Jalen Pickett and the Nittany Lions on Wednesday evening from Evanston, Illinois on TV or live stream.
