Penn State vs. Northwestern Preview: Nittany Lions Look to Win Two Straight

After overcoming a 14-point first half deficit to outlast Michigan at the Palestra, Penn State returns to the BJC to build on their momentum against Northwestern.

This is not your typical Wildcat team that the Nittany Lions could reasonably pencil in two victories against every year. Northwestern comes to Happy Valley sixth in the conference and boasting a four-point win in early December against then No. 1 Purdue. Additionally, their most recent contest was a 14-point win at home against Michigan State, the same Spartans that routed the Blue and White by 30 points at the Breslin Center last week.
