PSU Can’t Repeat

Revenge for Terps?

This is the first of two meetings between the schools this season.

In 2019-20, Penn State beat Maryland 76-69 at home as a two-point favorite. Jones scored 14 points and dished out six assists for the Nittany Lions. Ayala had 15 points for Maryland, which was ranked #4 at the time.

Maryland will be looking for revenge in this matchup. Coincidentally, the spread is the same as last season’s game.

Despite laying an egg in the second half in Madison on Tuesday, look for Penn State to bounce back on its home floor.

Pick: Penn State -2.5 (-104)
