3. MSU holds Penn State under 70 points
How many teams have held Penn State under 70 points this season? Two. Yes, that's it, just two teams have held the Nittany Lions under 70 points and that's why they have one of the best offenses in the entire conference, averaging 84 points per game.
The two teams to hold the Nittany Lions under 70? Illinois and Clemson.
Michigan State will become the third.
The Spartans will come out swinging and light up the scoreboard early on and Penn State will attempt to keep pace. The Nittany Lions will eventually fade thanks to the Spartans' depth wearing them down and they'll struggle to keep up with Michigan State's fast break barrage. This will lead to some poor shots from a gassed Penn State team and some ugly turnovers.
Michigan State wins this game and covers the spread, flirting with 90 points in the process while Penn State approaches 70, but misses it for the third time this season, 84-69 will be the final.
