YAY HOOPS: Penn State vs Mercyhurst Preview, Open Thread
Penn State looked much better against Pitt this year than last, where they got blasted into the stratosphere by over 40 points. The 6-point loss means this group of Lions may gel together to form something interesting, by season’s end.
They return home to play a Mercyhurst team at the bottom of the Kenpom rankings, so this should be no issue for the Lions. The Lakers have no outside presence, so the risk of someone going off and making life interesting isn’t really there, and they lack the size to compete in the glass. They are guard-oriented, so the Lions can turn them over to make this one quick and painless early.
