Written by BTN.com staffIndiana’s Cody Zeller sat down Tuesday to talk with BTN’s Mike Hall about the season so far, and we’ve got the whole interview right here.
Zeller and the No. 8 Hoosiers take on Penn State at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday in the first game of this week’s Super Wednesday doubleheader, presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. In the nightcap, it’s No. 14 Minnesota at Northwestern.
| Leaders | Penn St. | Indiana |
| Points | D. Newbill 15.3 | C. Zeller 17.2 |
| Rebounds | R. Travis 7.2 | C. Zeller 8.2 |
| Assists | D. Newbill 4.1 | K. Ferrell 4.8 |
Indiana faces Penn State before a much tougher stretch. After No. 13 Michigan State visits Assembly Hall on Sunday, Indiana travels to rival Purdue and hosts second-ranked Michigan next week before road dates with previously ranked Illinois and No. 15 Ohio State.
The only winless team in Big Ten play, Penn State’s current six-game skid is the school’s longest in the league and overall since a 0-12 conference start Dec. 29, 2009-Feb. 13, 2010. The Nittany Lions have lost 13 in a row away from home since a 62-54 win at Boston College on Nov. 30, 2011, and 11 consecutive Big Ten road games since winning 66-63 at Minnesota on March 6, 2011.
