Penn State wrestling versus Indiana: Time and streaming info, starting lineups, more
Penn State wrestling returns to the mat today. The No. 1 Nittany Lions travel to Indiana for a Big Ten showdown in Bloomington. Head coach Cael Sanderson’s team is 12-0. Head coach Angel Escobero’s Hoosiers is 7-2.
The Nittany Lions beat Ohio State 29-9 on Friday. Indiana, meanwhile, was last on the mat Jan. 29 when it beat Purdue 17-16 by winning four of the last five matches.
“Wrestling is a tricky sport,” Sanderson said Tuesday. “Other sports, they’re not managing their weight. And that makes a big difference. Your cycle, and your sleep, and your rest; It’s not like you’re just worrying about jetlag or being tired. You’re being very disciplined, and managing your weight. And it definitely adds something that makes our sport unique.
“It takes a lot of thought, discipline, and hard work. So, yeah, I think weekends like this are great.”
