Penn State vs Washington Game Preview and Analysis
Washington
Washington comes in at 12-12 overall and 4-9 in the Big Ten, but the Huskies have been much stronger at home. They are 8-4 in Alaska Airlines Arena, and that home edge matters in a double-digit spread.
The Huskies average 77.9 points per game and allow 73.5. The key difference in this matchup is rebounding and defense. Hannes Steinbach leads the way with 17.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. If he controls the glass, Washington can create second-chance points and wear down Penn State inside.
Zoom Diallo and Wesley Yates III provide perimeter scoring and playmaking. If they get out in transition, this game can get away from Penn State quickly.
Penn State
Penn State is 10-14 overall and just 1-12 in conference play. The Nittany Lions have struggled away from home, going 1-6 on the road and losing seven straight road games.
They score 76.1 points per game, but the defense gives up 79.6. That margin makes it hard to stay competitive against a team that rebounds well and protects home court.
Freddie Dilione V leads Penn State with 14.5 points per game, while Kayden Mingo adds 13.4 points and 4.4 assists. For Penn State to stay within this number, they must slow the tempo and avoid live-ball turnovers.
