Penn State Lady Lions Set to Challenge Nebraska Cornhuskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena
As the Penn State Lady Lions prepare to face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming clash on January 12 is poised to be a pivotal moment in the Lady Lions' season.
The PSU team comes into this game riding a wave of confidence after their recent victory over the Boilermakers on January 7, where they secured a comfortable 70-60 win. Their performance was marked by consistent scoring across all quarters, which has been a recurring theme for them this season. With an impressive offensive display that saw them rack up 90 points against the Scarlet Knights back on December 30, it's clear that their attacking prowess will be central to their game plan against Nebraska.
Analyzing past performances, PSU's strength lies in their shooting efficiency and ability to control the game's pace. They've demonstrated an impressive field goal percentage of around 47 percent and have been particularly lethal from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of approximately 44 percent in their last outing against Michigan Wolverines despite falling short with a score of 72-82.
On defense, PSU has shown they can hold their own as well. They managed nine steals in that same game and have consistently outrebounded their opponents throughout these past matchups. This tenacity on defense will need to be front and center when they go up against Nebraska Cornhuskers' offense.
The Cornhuskers will certainly pose a challenge for PSU; however, if recent games are any indication, it seems likely that Penn State could dictate the tempo early on. The key for PSU will be maintaining defensive pressure while exploiting any weaknesses in Nebraska's armor.
As we look ahead to what promises to be an electrifying encounter between these two teams, fans should mark their calendars for January 12 at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for just after sunset at approximately 8:00 PM local time (Lincoln). For those unable to attend in person, details regarding broadcast options should become available closer to game day – keep an eye out for updates so you don't miss any of the action!
