On the rare occasions that Penn State has won throughout its Big Ten schedule this year, it typically flashes its toughness by reaching the free-throw line consistently.
When the Nittany Lions host Nebraska at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, streamed on Big Ten Network, they won’t have an advantageous matchup to use that strength, as the Cornhuskers hold opposing offenses to a Big Ten best 25.4% free-throw rate in conference games, per KenPom.
Nebraska will enter the Bryce Jordan Center with a 17-9 record, winning five of its last six games. The Cornhuskers defeated Northwestern 68-64 on the road last Sunday in part by limiting the Wildcats to just eight attempts at the charity stripe.
