Here we have a pair of evenly matched Big Ten programs that are considerably better on one side of the ball. Penn State (Under 8-6) ranks No. 33 on offense and No. 64 on defense according to Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency stats; Michigan (Over 7-6) ranks 32nd and 73rd in those respective categories.
The Wolverines are also slightly faster than your average Division I team at No. 114 in Adjusted Tempo. The Lions are only No. 276 on that front, but they sure do love to bomb away from outside (fifth overall at 11.0 made threes per game), while Michigan is average at best when it comes to perimeter defense.
