Can Penn State Nittany Lions Extend Their Winning Streak at Bryce Jordan Center?

As the Penn State Nittany Lions prepare to host the Iowa Hawkeyes, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance. The Nittany Lions have been on a winning streak, showcasing a strong presence on both ends of the court. In their recent match against Le Moyne Dolphins, they secured a comfortable victory with 72 points to 55, demonstrating their defensive prowess by limiting the Dolphins to just 36 percent from the field and an even lower 26 percent from beyond the arc.

This was coupled with an impressive assists turnover ratio of 2.5.


Their last home game against Ohio State Buckeyes saw them emerge victorious with an exciting finish of 83-80. The team's field goal percentage stood out at 48 percent, and they were able to convert from long range at a consistent rate of 42 percent.
