PSU 'battles' to win at MSU

◊ Penn State beat No. 9 Michigan State in East Lansing, the Lions first win there in more than a decade. Talor Battle officially locked up his first-team All-BigTen selection, with a dominant 29-point performance. The Spartans now fall into a first-place tie with Purdue, with two conference losses each.

This win wasn't without some problems, big problems, for Penn State however. The Lions were HORRIBLE from the charity stripe, not excluding Battle. Luckily, Andrew Jones III, who hadn't scored more than 6 points since Dec. 21, came through with 1.6 seconds left, putting the Lions up by four. If Penn State wants to make it past the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the foul shots have to come a long way. The Lions could have put this game away much earlier, if only they had made a few more from the line.

But this has already been a fantastic season for Penn State, and it could get even better if the Lions use this big win as a springboard for the final stretch.
