More on Penn State vs. Nebraska

Nebraska, which currently sits in second-to-last place in the Big Ten at 3-9 in conference play, is hoping to win its first game Jan. 18 when they beat Ohio State. That is the team’s only victory over the past seven games, and currently has lost four straight.

Its last loss came Tuesday to Illinois. The Huskers were actually up 50-48 at the 12-minute mark, but Illinois finished on a 24-6 run to beat Nebraska.

Penn State enters coming off a rough performance against No. 1 Purdue. Zach Edey had 18 points but Mason Gillis came off the bench for the Boilermakers to the tune of 29 points as the Nittany Lions lost by 20.

However, Penn State should enter with plenty of confidence having beaten Nebraska by 11 points two weeks ago.
