ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Penn State is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Carrying a record of 11-14, they are currently rated #33 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 42.1), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.851 (which ranks first nationally), Penn State is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

Penn State showcases one of the country's most efficient offenses. Racking up about 111 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the team is nationally rated 24th in efficiency on that end of the floor. Penn State is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked 25th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.34 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-100 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 45.2% of their total attempts vs. AO. Penn State also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.84, which ranks #41 in the country.

Penn State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 57th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 94 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Penn State does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 27th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.89. Penn State also does an adequate job to prevent opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 55th in the NCAA).
