Penn State closed out the non-conference portion of their schedule with convincing home victories over LeMoyne and Rider. Now, their quest to stay in the top half of the conference (or perhaps just to avoid the bottom?) commences with a sojourn to Sparty.
The Breslin Center, like most Big Ten venues not named Welsh-Ryan or the BJC, has not been kind to the good guys. Michigan State is 15-2 at home against Penn State since 2000, with the only wins coming in February of 2009 (Cornley, Battle, Pringle, David Jackson, Jeff Brooks, etc.) and the what-could-have-been season of 2019-20.
