Penn State Basketball returns to action Sunday afternoon, following a hiatus amid a surge of COVID-19 cases, taking on the Indiana Hoosiers at the Bryce Jordan Center
Remember us? Penn State Basketball takes on the Indiana Hoosiers in University Park, PA Sunday afternoon to open the true portion of Big Ten Conference play.
Penn State Basketball hosts the Indiana Hoosiers, their first game back on the hardwood in three weeks at 4:00 pm on the Big Ten Network.
Penn State Basketball, led by head coach Micah Shrewsberry, and returning starters Seth Lundy and friend of VBR John Harrar, open up the remainder of their Big Ten slate by hosting the Indiana Hoosiers today, Sunday January 2nd (1/2/2022) at 4:00 pm in the Bryce Jordan Center (State College, PA) on the Big Ten Network.
The Nittany Lions (5-5) have had their ups and downs to start the year, worst of all a three game pause with the traditional finals week break means the Lions last game was a loss at Michigan State on December 11th. Games at VCU and home vs Quinnipiac were cancelled due to COVID-19 issues within the Nittany Lion program and a home game vs Delaware State was cancelled for the same issues within the Hornet program.
The Nittany Lions are led by Seth Lundy’s 14.7 points per game and Sam Sessoms’ (13.3) and averaging a double-double, Harrar (11.4 and 10.6 rpg).
The Indiana Hoosiers begin and end with all conference player Trayce Jackson-Davis, who returned to Indiana after flirting with the NBA. Davis is averaging 19.2 points and 8.5 rebounds. Race Thompson (10.9) and Xavier Johnson (10.3) are also averaging double digit points. Indiana is 10-2, one loss being a double overtime loss at Syracuse and the other a five point loss at No. 22 Wisconsin. The Hoosiers are 1-1 in the conference, adding a win over Nebraska and their best non-conference win was a home win vs Notre Dame.

Penn State vs Indiana University Prediction
ESPN’s BPI gives Penn State Basketball a 32.4% chance of winning.
Students aren’t back yet, likely some of the local fans are still travelling for the holiday, and with COVID concerns growing, there won’t be much of a home court advantage for the Nits. Hoosier win and cover, easy.
Prediction: Indiana 73 – Penn State 61
