Penn State Basketball takes on the No. 19 ranked Michigan State Spartans, in East Lansing, Saturday afternoon in Big Ten Conference play
Penn State Basketball goes on the road to finish the two-game December B1G conference set in East Lansing versus #19 Michigan State at 2:00 pm on the Big Ten Network.
Penn State Basketball, led by head coach Micah Shrewsberry, and returning starters Seth Lundy and friend of VBR John Harrar, go on the road to face off against Michigan State today, Saturday December 11th (12/11/2021) at 2:00 pm in the Breslin Center (East Lansing, Michigan) on the Big Ten Network.
The Nittany Lions (5-4) have had their ups and downs to start the year.
The Lions fell in the BIG-ACC Challenge despite a relatively easy draw, hosting Miami and followed it up with a loss to the Buckeyes in Jamari Wheeler’s homecoming for their first losing streak of the year but rebounded with a win over Wagner earlier this week.
The Nittany Lions are led by Seth Lundy’s 14.3 points per game and Sam Sessoms’ (13.4) and averaging a double-double, Harrar (10.9 and 10.6 rpg).
The nineteenth ranked Spartans are 8-2 and are led by forward Gabe Brown’s 13.1 points per game and fellow forward Marcus Bingham Jr is averaging 10.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. The Spartans currently play 9 guys that average over 15 minutes a game, a pretty stark difference from the Nittany Lions. Their two losses were to #3 Kansas and #6 Baylor and have wins over #22 UConn, at Minnesota, and at Butler.

Penn State at Michigan State University Injury Updates
Greg Lee warmed up with the team last week but it was announced that would be unlikely he’d get run vs Wagner.
Will Shrewsberry want to start his PSU career at East Lansing or give him another week until the team travels to VCU next weekend?
Shrewsberry stated that “Lee is closer to playing than Jevonnie Scott“, which doesn’t make much sense since he announced Scott was eligible over a week ago. Jason Whitens, the 6’5” guard has been announced as out for the year since his injury in an exhibition vs. Ferris State.
