The No. 19 Michigan State Spartans (18-6, 9-4) return to the road tonight after a two-game homestand. MSU faces off against the Penn State Nittany Lions (9-12, 4-9) after defeating PSU 80-64 in East Lansing back in December. Head coach Tom Izzo also has the opportunity with a win to tie former Indiana Hoosiers head coach Bobby Knight tonight for most wins at the helm of a Big Ten program. Izzo currently holds 661 wins to Knight’s 662. Knight still holds a substantial lead in Big Ten league wins over Izzo, 353-320.
