Northwestern at Penn State

The Northwestern Wildcats have navigated a rather easy schedule to enter conference play at 11-2. They have been focused on the defensive end of the floor where they have limited opponents to 37.8% shooting, and not any of their 13 opponents have scored more than 72 points. Penn State comes in at 8-5 and has done a very good job defensively themselves, allowing just 41% shooting, and that is to a much more difficult schedule. Conference games typically bring out the intensity, which usually translates to defense, and both of these teams have displayed the defense-first look thus far on the season. These teams have combined to play to a 13-6-1 mark to the UNDER on the season, and I don't see that changing here. Make the play on the UNDER.
