Penn State vs. Nebraska injury report
Penn State continues to be in good health coming into the early February matchup with the Cornhuskers. No Penn State players appear on the updated college basketball injury report. The same, however, cannot be said for Nebraska.
Nebradska’s roster has been hit with a handful of season-ending injuries this season. The Huskers are without three guards (Emmanuel Bandoimel, Ramel Lloyd Jr., and Quaran McPherson) for either season-ending injuries or, in the case of Lloyd Jr., redshirting this season. And forward Juwan Gary is out for the year with a shoulder injury that required surgery.

ESPN BPI Outlook
Penn State is without question the better all-around team on the basketball court, and it should show in this matchup. But there is something about traveling to the far end of the conference for a Sunday afternoon matchup after getting the doors blown off of you in your last two road contests. Still, Penn State losing to Nebraska is not the expected result, even if they will have to go out and fight for it.
The ESPN Basketball Power Index predicts Penn State has a 60.8% chance of winning the game, which should be considered a respectable outlook on the road. Penn State is favored by four points on the road in this one, so the BPI outlook seems pretty fair in that regard.
Other Big Ten games on the schedule
Indiana won the Big Ten game of the weekend on Saturday with a 79-74 upset of No. 1 Purdue, but there are still some Big Ten leftovers for the basketball crowd on Sunday.
