Once again, the Gophers, 4-3, host a team sporting a 20-point loss to the Virginia Cavaliers. This time it is the 7-1 Lady Lions and the losing margin was actually 21 points, 89-68.
It’s the Big Ten opener and the Big Ten has been very unkind to Penn State head coach Carolyn Kieger who is 12-43 in B1G play. Last season, instead of opening the conference with PSU, Minnesota closed the regular season in Happy Valley by defeating the Lady Lions 94-83. Sara Scalia, 32 points and 8 rebounds, was topped by Kadi Sissoko with 32 points and 14 rebounds before the tandem exited Dinkytown.
Minnesota is 10-2 versus Penn State since 2015. As a coach, Lindsay Whalen lost once to the Lady Lions and that was in January 2021 at Williams Arena. On the basketball scale of early season formidability, Penn State is there for the picking.
