RPI This! Penn State beats Sparty at Breslin Center 71-68
What a weekend. First Michigan fans are whining up a storm about refereeing.
Then Penn State pulls out its first win at the Breslin Center for the first time ever outlasting the Spartans 72-68.
| 1st | 2nd | Final | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Penn State | 38 | 34 | 72 |
| #9 Michigan State | 37 | 31 | 68 |
Penn State hasn’t had a signature road win yet? Try #9 Michigan State at the Breslin Center.
They came within a basket of winning it at home a few weeks ago, but the Spartans managed to escape Happy Valley with the W.
It’s record now against the RPI Top 50? How about 2-4, which easily could have been 3-3.
And now with this win, Penn State should be gaining in the RPI.
If there is anything to take away from a stunning victory today it should be. MAKE YOUR FREAKING FREE THROWS. It seemed like Penn State missed every one of their second half free throws except 1. 8-17 free throw shooting is unacceptable at home, let alone on the road in the Big Ten. That’s 47% free throw shooting. Hell, they have a even better chance of hitting their free throws if they launched it over their backs.
I hope Ed runs free throw shooting drills until their hands bleed when they get home.
Otherwise, what a weekend. Well done Lions, well done.
