My Prediction
Michigan Wolverines by 8Look at this, folks...no, wait, I can’t start with that, sorry. We have an interesting matchup here: Penn St Nittany Lions vs the number 21 ranked Michigan Wolverines. Quite a showdown if you ask me.
Let's dive into the crux of it. The Nittany Lions have a proficient player, Adrian Baldwin, consistent across the board with an average of 14.3 points per game this season, and 8 assists to boot. Then there's Nick Kern, who's been averaging a easy-pacing 14.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over the past month. It's not all steak and no sizzle either, Yanic Konan Niederhauser has been contributing a steady 11.6 points and almost 7 rebounds. But really, none of them have the stature of, say, Vladislav Goldin of the Wolverines who is thundering with an average 20.9 points and 6.3 rebounds last month. I mean, come on. And let's not forget Daniel Wolf, who's basically a walking double-double with 12.4 points and a robust 9.1 rebounds in the last month.
In the past, it's been a fascinating story of ups and downs in their meetings. Wolverines are 1 out of 4 against the Nittany Lions in their last four meetings. Well, we'll see how Wolverines' rank 21 help them this time. As for the Regular Season Records, both teams seem to have relatively similar track records. The Wolverines with a 14-5 record look a tad stronger than the Nittany Lions sporting a 13-7.
As for the recent results, both teams don't exactly look like they're hosts of a winning party. Wolverines grappled their way to victory in 2 out of their last 5 games, while the Nittany Lions followed suit. Hardly instills confidence, does it?
But hey, let's not dwell on the past, because the future, as they say, is unpredictable. Especially with B-ball and my commentary.
