Coming off its best game in weeks, visiting Penn State aims to ride the momentum into a Saturday afternoon matchup against resurgent Minnesota in a Big Ten contest at Minneapolis.The Nittany Lions (14-13, 4-12 Big Ten) sit in last place in the conference standings, due in large part to a seven-game losing streak that the team ended Wednesday with a resounding 89-72 home win over Nebraska.Zach Hicks and Yanic Konan Niederhauser each scored 19 points, while Ace Baldwin Jr. chipped in 10 points, eight assists and six steals. Penn State had lost 11 of its previous 12 games.”I just thought for a stretch, we were just playing with so much pressure,” Nittany Lions coach Mike Rhoades said. “You could see it. And when it doesn’t go well, you’ve got to work through that, and some guys are better than others with it. … I thought (Wednesday) we played with more freedom and more spirit, and you saw that.”One of Penn State’s defeats during its long losing streak was a home setback against Minnesota on Feb. 4. The Golden Gophers posted a 69-61 victory behind Dawson Garcia’s 19 points and 14 rebounds.”Dawson’s always going to get it going,” said Minnesota’s Brennan Rigsby, who chipped in 14 points. “When we get another couple guys going, it’s really hard to stop us.”
