Penn State’s home record took its first blemish of the season on Wednesday evening with a loss to the Michigan State Spartans. A hard-fought game with the Spartans saw a total of 12 lead changes and was hanging in the balance until the final minutes of the game where Penn State’s cold shooting allowed the visitors to pull away for a win in the Bryce Jordan Center.
Penn State jumped out to a nice lead in the first half with a fun outburst, but the Spartans chipped away and the two teams traded blows for much of the night.

Penn State suffered its second straight loss and will have a tough time snapping their losing skid with a road game at Illinois coming up this weekend.
