Penn State gets a bit of a break in the schedule following their road win at No. 17 Illinois. The Lions had a week off for finals, then play three more non-conference games in the next two weeks as they prepare for Big Ten play.
Canisius Golden Griffins is 2-7 on the season, with their last five games —all losses, being on the road. This game would be their sixth of seven straight road games before the Golden Griffins pick conference play back up themselves.
Canisius doesn’t do anything particularly well, as their 278th overall Kenpom ranking indicates.
