Three things to watch
1. Can Penn State bounce back from a tough loss to VCU? The Nittany Lions dropped their last game 76-57 to the Rams, shooting just 34.8% from the field and committing 13 turnovers. They'll need to be much better against St. Francis if they want to avoid starting the season 0-3.
2. Will John Harrar continue to be a force down low for Penn State? The 6-foot-10 center is averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds per game through two games this season. He'll be a tough matchup for St. Francis, who has yet to face a team with a true post presence this season.
3. Can St. Francis pull off the upset? The Red Flash are a big underdog in this game, but they have a chance to pull off the upset if they can shoot the ball well and take care of the basketball. They're averaging 8.5 made 3-pointers per game this season, and they've only turned the ball over 10 times per game.
Prediction
Penn State should be able to win this game if they play to their potential. The Nittany Lions have a much more talented roster than St. Francis, and they should be able to take advantage of their size and athleticism. However, St. Francis is a well-coached team that could give Penn State a challenge if they're not careful. In the end, I think Penn State will win this game by a score of 82-68.
