A little payback would be nice!!! This is a very winnable game, as these two teams match up well. The first time we forced 18 turnovers, and I would be willing to bet Mike Collins has addressed that quite a bit this week. Penn State's biggest weakness has been rebounding. They have cleaned that up a bit of late, but NW isn't over powering on the boards either, so this game will come down to the guards. At home Berry and Buie lit it up in the second half, and we couldn't stop Barnhizer in the post. The 3 of them scored 56 of the 76 points. Wahab and company have gotten a bit better in the post so we will have to see how that plays out.
In NW last game against Nebraska Ty Berry went down with a knee injury and did not return. Will have to see if it was serious and keep him out or if he will be back??? Could help determine the outcome of this game.
