As Penn State makes its way to just its second road game in two weeks, coach Coquese Washington is focusing on a particular aspect on the court: defensive intensity.
The Lady Lions (8-15, 3-9 Big Ten) are going head-to-head against Michigan State (18-5, 9-2) on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in East Lansing with the hope of snapping their tumultuous four-game losing streak.
The Spartans, known for their impeccable rebounds, are likely to trouble the Lions defensively. They registered 29 rebounds as a team in their latest 74-69 road win over Iowa, lacking home-court advantage.
Michigan native Jasmine Hines reached a double-double on 11 points and 10 rebounds.
