With their dominating win against the Michigan State Spartans at home, Purdue moved to 21-1 on the season and took a three game lead in the B1G race (thanks in part to Iowa) and became the first unanimous #1 this season. Purdue was led by Zach Edey's dominating 38 points and 13 rebounds along with the late clock heroics of David Jenkins Jr. while their defense was able to limit a talented Spartans team to just 61 points. Penn State (14-7, 5-5) enters their return game to Mackey Arena shooting a blistering 38.5% from beyond the arc this season as a team but lack the scoring punch outside of Jalen Pickett and Seth Lundy. Penn State struggled to contain Zach Edey who scored 30 points but also got 17 points from Fletcher Loyer and 15 from Braden Smith.
