The skinny: Iowa starting center Jared Reiner sprained his knee Jan. 25 against Ohio State, and is not expected to play. He already had been playing the previous two weeks with a broken hand. Reiner is second in the Big Ten in rebounding, averaging 8.8 per game.
Key matchup: In order to take advantage of Reiner's absence, Penn State must get a big performance from Jagla.
Worth noting: Iowa has won four of the past six meetings in the series.
