The Nittany Lions played their last game of the non-conference schedule, against a team they were favored by 30 points, right before big stretch in conference play, coming off a long break for the holidays.
It sure looked like it when the Lions took on Delaware State, as the Hornets gave Penn State everything they could hope for and then some. At times it looked like the Lions would be doing Iowa a giant favor by being another team to lose as a 30-point favorite, but Penn State did just enough to come away with the victory.
This is the second game where the Nittany Lions have shot poorly from three, something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible, but can also be attributed to the long layover from between games.
