The Nittany Lions, as our humble blog has written about several times already, snapped a 13-game losing streak against the then-No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers. The Lions scored 81 points, about 20 points more than the Badgers are allowing on the season. They did so by dictating the game: Play with pace, make shots, and turn Wisconsin over.
The formula for this game was already set. All Penn State would need to is score a ton, turn Wisconsin over, and stay out of foul trouble. Now they had to do it at the Kohl Center, a place where the Nittany Lions had never won.
