BLOOMINGTON, Indiana - If the recent past proves prologue, Indiana's host Hoosiers and their fans are in for a humdinger Tuesday night.
Penn State's Nittany Lions come calling for a 6:30 p.m. tip, renewing a series that isn't for the faint of heart.
IU prevailed twice over PSU last season in palpitating fashion, 78-75 Jan. 18 at State College on a James Blackmon Jr. buzzer-beating 3, and 110-102 in triple overtime in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall last Feb. 1.
And while Indiana has gone 4-2 in its last six games with Penn State going back to 2014, its average margin of victory over that stretch is 78.
