Death, taxes, and Tom Izzo's Michigan State is picking up momentum after a slow start...count on all three! The time-tested pattern at East Lansing seems to have been dusted off once again this season, if perhaps a bit more exaggerated, as Izzo once again seems to have the Spartans straightened out and aiming for March after dealing with several detours in pre-January play. This is a big ask for a middling Penn State side that aside from a mild upset over inconsistent Ohio State hasn’t done anything of note yet this season. Not that much was expected with a new HC (Mike Rhoades via VCU after Micah Shrewsberry moved to Notre Dame) and a rebuilt roster from last year’s Big Dance qualifier. Play MSU
