Why Penn State Will Win

Northwestern doesn’t do enough offensively to keep up.

Penn State rolled in the first meeting a few weeks ago, winning 77-61 with a dominant first half and no issues throughout. Northwestern was miserable from three, Penn State was great on the boards, and it was a breather.

The Cats have the worst scoring offense in the Big Ten, there isn’t enough happening from the outside to get back in games, and there’s absolutely nothing happening on the boards.

As long as Penn State continues force steals and create mistakes, and as long as it’s able to steadily keep the scoring to rolling – get on the move, and NU can’t keep up – there won’t be any problems.

Why Northwestern Will Win

The Wildcats have to somehow slow the tempo down.

Penn State scores in bunches and likes to get into shootouts, but it’s not great from three, it commits a slew of fouls, and Northwestern doesn’t give the ball up enough to generate a ton of easy points.

Unlike the first meeting, not getting down fast is vital. It’s the final home game in a rough season, and it needs to hope for Penn State to be looking ahead a bit. However …

What’s Going To Happen

Penn State won’t be looking ahead at all after losing four of its last five games.

Northwestern will still be in the game by halftime, and then the drought will come. Penn State will go on a decent early second half run, will rebound all the misses from the outside, and won’t have any issues in the rematch.

Why Northwestern Will Win

So what’s going right in this nosedive of a season? The Wildcats have lost 13 of its last 14 games, but they’re still battling.

They have the energy to keep attacking – even if they’re not effective enough defensively – they don’t give the ball up for easy points, and they do just enough to keep teams from rocking from three.

Penn State might be playing well, but they’re also hitting well from the field with a knack for going on good runs. Northwestern is able to slow things down a bit when it needs to, and it’s not all the bad defending the three.

Why Penn State Will Win

Northwestern is awful.

It can’t score, it doesn’t do anything on the boards, and it doesn’t force the mistakes needed to generate easy points. Worst of all, they don’t score.

They don’t do enough from the outside, they don’t come up with second chance points, and the defense doesn’t force enough turnovers to come up with generate O.

Penn State is the opposite when it comes to forcing mistakes. It leads the Big Ten in steals and is second in blocked shots.

Northwestern isn’t going to have an easy time finding points.

What’s Going To Happen

Penn State isn’t going to start struggling now. Northwestern might bring the want-to, but it won’t come up with enough steady points to overcome an early Nittany Lion burst.
