Turnovers Help MSU

Michigan State beat Penn State 84-58 last night. Penn State gave up 33 points in turnovers.

"There's the game," Penn State coach Ed DeChellis said. "We can't continue to turn the basketball over, and we continue to do it every night. We can't continue to give people 33 points off our turnovers."

Penn State had trouble with offensive rebounds -- something they lead the Big Ten in -- and only shot 39% from the field.

Michigan State shot 50%, and made 16-17 free throws. Anderson lead scoring with 17 points, followed by Brown with 16.

"We challenged them a bit because we weren't happy with the energy," Izzo said. "We've had more energy in practice the last four days than we had at the beginning of the game. But sometimes when you have long layoffs -- and that's what we're battling here, we've played so few games in so many days -- they're sick of practicing and sometimes they don't carry it over."

Michigan State is 9-2 on the season with six straight wins.
