Michigan State picked up their second sweep of the season on Wednesday night, going on the road to defeat Penn State, 80-72. This comes three games after getting the sweep of Maryland. But unlike the series against the Terrapins, the Spartans dominated both contests versus the Nittany Lions. While the second matchup only ended up being an eight-point victory, it was not that close of a game, and MSU actually held a 14-point lead until PSU knocked down two triples in the final 40 seconds. Sparty led by as many as 17 in the first half.
There were some unusual stars in this game, as the Spartans did not rely on their dynamic duo in the backcourt.
