hhcmatt Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers (13-9) vs Penn St Nittany Lions (14-9) Date: Saturday, Feb 7th, 2015Time: 3:00 p.m. CSTArena: University ParkCapacity: 15,000Broadcast Information Television: ESPNU Online: WatchESPN Announcers: Clay Matvick and Sean Harrington Satellite Radio: Sirius (Ch. 126); XM (196)Play-by-play: Kent PavelkaExpert Analysis: Matt DavisonPenn St Scouting Thread Penn St InfoHead Coach: Pat ChambersLocation: University Park, PAConference: B1G 10Nickname: Nittany LionsLast time out: Lost at MarylandTypical Rotation Depth: 8-9 playersLine: Penn St by 5Fun Fact : The Nittany Lion nickname comes from local landmark Mount Nittany. They made up the name to impress some dudes from Princeton.Player to watch: DJ NewbillThe 6'4" Senior leads the B1G in scoring and the Nittany Lions in assists. He consistently gets to the FT line and has yet to be held in single digit scoring. You won't shut him down but you have to try. Given he's going to generate contact can you risk guarding him with Petteway for most of the game? Is this Tai Webster's responsibility? Can you use David River's length or Benny Parker's speed without Newbill exploiting it? Do you The SkinnyThis is a much win for both teams on a variety of levels...both teams will be highly motivated here. The Huskers are capable of doing enough on the defensive end and it would be a shock to see a so-so Penn State defense have a big day. Can the Huskers score enough to win today? Can they generate the contact necessary to get FT attempts if their shots aren't falling?At some point today the Huskers will need someone who is not Petteway or Shields to step up. Walt seems like the obvious choice after last game but it could be anyone (or no one). The Huskers have had Penn St's number since Miles has joined the B1G, going 3-1 including the debacle last year where they gave away the game. In a game that Penn St should be favored to win, I like the Huskers to continue their improved play in February.Prediction: Nebraska 60 - Penn St 57Click here to view the article atskooc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
