UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - No one said the grind of a Big Ten hoops schedule would be easy. The Nittany Lion basketball team (12-12, 3-8 Big Ten) will head on the road for the eighth time in six weeks when it meets Nebraska (13-12, 5-7 Big Ten) in Lincoln on Saturday.
This week, however, has allowed the Nittany Lions to push the reset button and earn some much-needed extra rest. Penn State took a couple days off earlier in the week during the season's only bye. The time off allowed the team to get a little healthier and regroup for the final run towards the Big Ten Tournament.
