[CBB] Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Penn State Nittany Lions

We are siding with Penn State as they return to the Bryce Jordan Center (8-6 home record) to face a Rutgers team that remains winless on the road this season. The Nittany Lions’ offense is revitalized by the return of star freshman Kayden Mingo, who exploded for 24 points in his most recent outing on February 14. While Rutgers recently saw the return of center Emmanuel Ogbole, Penn State's superior home efficiency and the backcourt stability of Mingo and Freddie Dilione V provide the edge in this first conference meeting of the year.
