Penn State at Northwestern men’s basketball: How to watch on TV and live stream on Sunday

Penn State takes its three-game winning streak on the road to face one of the Big Ten’s best home teams this season.

After winning three striaght games in Big Ten play, including back-to-back road wins, Penn State’s men’s basketball team will look for a fourth consecutive win on Sunday afternoon at Northwestern.

Penn State came up short against Northwestern in the first meeting this season in Happy Valley. Penn State let a second-half lead slip away in a home loss to the Wildcats, 76-72, back in January. [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] scored 25 points in the losing effort. His status for this game will be one to watch as he made his way back on the court off the bench in Penn State’s last game against Iowa after missing two games due to injury.

Penn State has not won four striaght Big Ten games since the 2019-2020 season. Picking up this one will be difficult as Northwestern is 6-0 in Big Ten games at home and 12-1 overall in hime games this season. Boo Buie continues to be a force with a team-leading 19.0 points per game

Penn State and Northwestern will have this game wrapped up before the big football festivities of the day get underway in Las Vegas. Here is how to watch the Sunday afternoon Big Ten basketball contest from Evanston.

Penn State vs. Iowa men’s basketball: How to watch on TV and live stream on Thursday

Kanye Clary’s status is once again in question as Iowa visit Penn State at home having won its last two games.

After being unable to win a road game for the whole season up until last week, Penn State has now won back-to-back games away from the Bryce Jordan Center against Rutgers and Indiana. With seemingly good momentum back on their side, the Nittany Lions will host the Iowa Hawkeyes in a battle for sole possession of ninth place in the Big Ten standings.

Penn State’s second road win of the year against the Hoosiers came without its leading scorer, [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag], but [autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] stepped up in a big way, scoring 22 points on 8-14 shooting. With the Nittany Lions back at a .500 overall record, head coach [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag] can try to steer his team back towards a possible run at meaningful March basketball.

Like Penn State, Iowa has struggled to find consistency this season, with a record of 13-9 overall. The Hawkeyes are coming off a win at home against Ohio State and own the second-best offense in the Big Ten, scoring 84.2 points per game. Baldwin Jr.’s defense will be vital in slowing Hawkeyes’ guard Tony Perkins, who paces Iowa, averaging 15.7 ppg.

According to Rhoades, Clary’s status for the game is “day-to-day,” so whether he plays tomorrow evening will likely not come until tomorrow pre-game. Clary suiting up for the contest would be a massive boost for the Nittany Lions offense, even though they played well without him last weekend in Indiana.

Here is how to catch Thursday night’s Big Ten action from the Bryce Jordan Center between Penn State and Iowa.

Penn State basketball picks up massive road win over Indiana

Penn State basketball storms out of Indiana with massive Big Ten win.

For much of the season, Penn State had been a completely different team on the road compared to at home playing in the Bryce Jordan Center.

This week was going to be a huge test for the Nittany Lions as they had two consecutive road games at tough places to play.

They earned a gritty victory over Rutgers and headed out to Indiana for a massive Saturday matchup and to play in a place they hadn’t won since 2014.

Once again, Penn State would have to compete without their leading scorer [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag], and once again, they were able to pull off an upset win.

This might have been the most complete game the Nittany Lions have played all season, beating the Indiana Hoosiers 85-71.

It started out tough, getting into a 10-point hole about seven minutes into the game. That deficit largely stayed for the majority of the first half, until three-pointers started to fall and they entered halftime down 41-37.

Penn State took their first lead of the game just about four minutes into the second half after back-to-back threes from [autotag]Zach Hicks[/autotag] and [autotag]Ace Baldwin[/autotag] to make it 45-43.

Similarly to what they did against Rutgers, once the Nittany Lions grabbed the lead, they never gave it back.

Their defense stifled much of what Indiana could do in the second half and allowed their offense to continue operating at a high level.

Baldwin was spectacular, scoring 22 points on 8-14 shooting while adding eight assists, but it was the role players who stepped up in big way and got Penn State an important Quad 2 victory.

Hicks had his best game in a Nittany Lions jersey. He made four threes on 50-percent shooting, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds and two steals.

[autotag]Jameel Brown[/autotag] lit it up coming off the bench, hitting four threes of his own to score 14 points.

[autotag]Qudus Wahab[/autotag] continues to give Penn State the much-needed size they’ve been missing. Not only did he battle inside, but he was an offensive threat in the post, scoring 14 points, while also pulling down seven rebounds.

Coach [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag] has said he thinks this team is close, no matter how things have looked to begin the year.

It seems like he was right as the Nittany Lions picked up their second consecutive road win.

Penn State at Indiana men’s basketball: How to watch on TV and live stream on Saturday

Leading scorers for Penn State and Indiana could each be game-time decisions on Saturday. Here is how to watch on Saturday.

For as much as Penn State has historically dominated Indiana on the football field since joining the Big Ten, the Hoosiers have returned the favor on the basketball court far more often than not. Penn State will look for a rare road win in Bloomington when the men’s basketball team looks to win its second road game of the year on Saturday afternoon.

Penn State picked up its first road win of the season earlier this week with a defensive and gritty showing at Rutgers despite not having leading scorer [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] on the court. His status for the Indiana game has not been confirmed. He may be a game-time decision. [autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] came up big for the Nittany Lions in Clary’s absence against Rutgers. Penn State may need another big all-around game from their star transfer player.

Indiana just snapped a three-game losing streak by scoring a win over Iowa this week. The Hoosiers were led by a 23-point effort by Kel’el Ware and a career-best 13 points by Anthony Leal in the win. Malik Reneau leads the Hoosiers with 16.0 points per game but it is unknown if he will be available for Saturday after suffering an anlkle injury at the start of Indiana’s last game.

Penn State has not won a game in Bloomington since 2014. Needless to say, history is not on Penn State’s side against the historical basketball powerhouse Hoosiers. Penn State is just 3-23 all-time on the road at Indiana. But Penn State did win the last meeting between the two schools in the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament semifinal last postseason, 77-73.

Here is how to watch the game Saturday afternoon.

Best photos from Penn State basketball’s road win at Rutgers

Check out the best photos from Penn State basketball’s first road win of the season from Wednesday night.

Penn State had been experiencing plenty of pain and suffering on the road this men’s college basketball season, but the Nittany Lions scrapped their way to a victory at Rutgers on Wednesday night. Penn State’s 61-46 victory at Rutgers was the first true road win of the season for the Nittany Lions. Prior to that, the only game Penn State had won away from State College was a matchup against Michigan in Philadelphia at The Palestra, where Penn State was officially playing a home-away-from-home game.

[autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] rose to the occasion with 15 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 5 forced turnovers. Penn State needed that effort as they were without leading scorer [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] due to injury. The defense forced 20 turnovers by Rutgers and [autotag]D’Marco Dunn[/autotag] filled in for the injured Clary with a 14-point effort in a starting role. [autotag]Quduus Wahab[/autotag] had 11 rebounds on the night as Penn State took care of the basketball.

You can read more about Penn State’s road win in our recap post. Here are some of the best photos from the game.

Next up for Penn State is a tough road game this weekend at Indiana. Penn State visits the Hoosiers on Saturday, Feb. 3 for a noon eastern tipoff on FS1.

Penn State basketball wins tough road test against Rutgers

Penn State picks up first road win of the season with a tough effort at Rutgers.

Heading into Penn State’s matchup against Rutgers, they knew they were down a man with [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] not making the trip due to an injury he suffered against Minnesota in their last game.

His absence in the second half against the Golden Gophers was a major reason why they blew big halftime lead.

Traveling to face Rutgers is a hard task, even with one of their best players.

The Nittany Lions quickly got into a 6-0 hole to start the game after missing four shots in a row. From the start this had all the telltale signs that this was going to be a slugfest.

10 minutes into the game Rutgers had a 14-7 lead.

But seven was the most points they ever led by throughout the rest of the contest.

Penn State took their first lead with six-and-a-half minutes left in the half after [autotag]Ace Baldwin[/autotag] stole the ball and laid it in. The Nittany Lions didn’t trail the rest of the way once that shot went through the net.

What won them the game was their defense.

This has been a major issue for Penn State throughout the season, something that is the antithesis of [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag] coached teams.

However, they forced 20 turnovers, had 13 steals, held Rutgers to 34% shooting from the field and 1-17 from three-point range. They also held the Scarlet Knights without a field goal for a roughly 16 minutes of game time.

The Nittany Lions extended their two point halftime lead and really dominated the second half to win 61-46.

Without his backcourt mate Clary, Baldwin was tremendous, finishing with 15 points on 5-11 shooting while adding seven assists, five rebounds and five steals.

After getting pulled early in the game for lack of intensity, [autotag]Qudus Wahab[/autotag] also put together a great game with nine points, 11 big rebounds and two blocks.

Stepping in for Clary, [autotag]D’Marco Dunn[/autotag] showcased what he can do, hitting two threes on 50% shooting from that range to help him get to 14 points while pulling down seven rebounds.

Winning on the road is difficult in Big Ten play and Penn State was able to walk out of this physical, gritty contest with a victory.

Hopefully this builds some confidence for their second consecutive road game this Saturday against Indiana.

Kanye Clary is day-to-day as Penn State prepares for road trip to Rutgers

Penn State’s leading scorer is day-to-day ahead of road game at Rutgers

As if Penn State has not had enough struggles on the road this season, they may have to play a Big Ten road game on Wednesday night without its leading scorer. [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag], who was injured in Penn State’s weekend loss to Minnesota, is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury according to Penn State men’s basketball head coach [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag].

Rhoades updated the status of Clary during his regularly scheduled press conference on Monday. In addition to an update on the status of Clary, Rhoades also announced [autotag]Nick Kern Jr.[/autotag] should be available for Penn State’s road game at Rutgers on Wednesday evening.

“Kanye is day-to-day, we’ll leave it at that,” Rhoades said. “And Nick will be available, so we’ll go from there.”

Both players were banged up in Saturday evening’s home game against Minnesota, leaving their status for Wednesday night’s road game in some doubt. Judging by his comments on Monday, Rhoades is far more confident in having Kern available than Clary. If Clary is unable to be on the court, that will likely mean D’Marco Dunn will get a chance to get in the starting lineup for the Nittany Lions.

Clary leads Penn State with an average of 18.1 points per game. Dunn has appeared in all 20 games played by Penn State this season, and he is averaging 6.7 ppg in 16.4 minutes per game.

Kern has been averaging 23.6 minutes per game and 8.1 ppg with 4.3 rebounds per game. Kern is also averaging 1.1 steals per game, which is the second-highest average behind only Ace Baldwin Jr. and his 2.8 steals per game.

Penn State is still searching for its first road win this season when they travel to New Jersey to face the Scarlet Knights. Penn State is 0-4 on the road in Big Ten play and just 1-8 in games played away from the Bryce Jordan Center. Penn State’s only win outside of Happy Valley came against Michigan in Philadelphia earlier this month. The game is classified as a home game, but that has been the only win for the Nittany Lions outside of central PA this season.

Rutgers is 10-9 this season but is just 2-6 in Big Ten play (Penn State is 3-6 in conference play).

Penn State and Rutgers are scheduled to tipoff at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 31 on Big Ten Network from Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway, NJ.

Penn State basketball comes up short at home vs. Minnesota (photos)

Penn State men’s basketball let one slip away against Minnesota on Saturday night.

Penn State has been enjoying far more success than failure at home in the Bryce Jordan Center this season, but Saturday saw the tables turned on the Nittany Lions. Penn State led Minnesota by 14 points at halftime but could not hold on to the game with a rough second-half performance in an 83-74 loss to the visiting Gophers.

[autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] led the Nittany Lions with 16 points and [autotag]Qudus Wahab[/autotag] added 15 points to the scoring effort. [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] had 11 points in a relatively down game for him. Minnesota just lit up the scoreboard in the second half with some hot shooting. Minnesota climbed their way to take a lead almost midway through the second half, but Penn State hung around and tied the game at 70-70 with just under three minutes to play. Unfortunately for Penn State, Minnesota responded with a 7-1 run that left Penn State in the rearview mirror for the remainder of the night.

Here are some of the best photos from Penn State’s latest men’s basketball game.

How to watch Penn State men’s basketball annual THON game against Minnesota on Saturday evening.

Penn State returns to the basketball court on Saturday night after getting a quick break. The Nittany Lions will welcome the Minnesota Golden Gophers to Happy Valley for the annual THON game. With Penn State’s biggest charity event coming up in a couple of weeks, Penn State students will come dressed for the occasion Saturday night with plenty of activities to be held throughout the game.

Penn State will come into the game with a 9-10 record overall, but they are 9-2 at home this season. Penn State’s last home game was Jan. 16, an upset of Wisconsin to hand the Badgers their first conference loss of the season. Penn State is coming off a tough road game at Ohio State that resulted in a 79-67 loss to the Buckeyes.

Minnesota is looking to rebound from a close loss to Wisconsin. The Gophers started off the season with a 12-3 record but have now lost four consecutive games against Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, and Wisconsin.

This will be the first of two regular-season meetings between Penn State and Minnesota. The Nittany Lions have won the last three meetings in the series. Penn State has not lost a home game to Minnesota since Jan. 15, 2018. Penn State is 10-10 all-time against Minnesota when playing at home. Minnesota leads the all-time series by a 30-15 margin.

Here is how to watch the game Saturday evening.

Penn State at Ohio State men’s basketball: How to watch on TV and live stream on Saturday

How to watch Saturday afternoon’s Big Ten basketball matchup between Penn State and Ohio State

After a big home win earlier in the week, Penn State looks to pick up a second straight victory in Big Ten play on Saturday afternoon when they visit Ohio State. The Nittany Lions have not fared well away from the Bryce Jordan Center this season, but they do already own a head-to-head victory over the Buckeyes.

Kanye Clary led Penn State to a big come-from-behind victory against Ohio State in December in the early part of the Big Ten basketball schedule. Penn State was down by as many as 18 points on their home court before storming back for an 83-80 victory over Ohio State. Clary scored 19 points in the win. Penn State has now won three consecutive meetings with the Buckeyes, although Ohio State holds the upper hand in the all-time series (43-22) and is 23-7 against Penn State when the games are played in Columbus.

Penn State is looking to establish some sort of momentum this season after scoring an 87-83 victory over Wisconsin this week, which was the first conference loss of the year for the Badgers. Penn State’s season has been up and down, especially in Big Ten play, and the Nittany Lions have won just one game away from home this season (against Michigan in Philadelphia earlier this month).
