1. Michigan State secures its second road win of 2023-24

Can you believe that this team has just one road win this season? You probably can because the Spartans are so painfully inconsistent, but it's disappointing to see that they haven't been able to remain level-headed away from the Breslin Center.

That will change on Wednesday night.

While I think this Penn State team is probably better than its record indicates considering it has played a lot better since the last time it faced Michigan State, I do believe that the Spartans may have turned their season around completely on Saturday with that 88-80 win over No. 10 Illinois.

It feels like this team may have turned a corner and we'll see that against the Nittany Lions with Jaden Akins, Tyson Walker, AJ Hoggard, and Malik Hall playing well.

And then Tre Holloman will give the team a boost off the bench along with Jaxon Kohler, Coen Carr, and even some Xavier Booker, as mentioned earlier.

Michigan State will win its second road game of the year, 77-70.
