(STATE COLLEGE, PA) - Tom Izzo wasn't impressed with much of No. 6 Michigan State's double-digit victory over Penn State. The Spartans built a big lead early and dominated at times in the paint in their 71-56 win on Sunday. From Izzo's standpoint, that's all they did well and that won't be enough for the Spartans to be the team they want to be. Playing without guards Joshua Langford and Kyle Ahrens, Michigan State's offense suffered through spurts of inconsistency while also mounting the runs necessary to keep the game out of reach. Nick Ward had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Matt McQuaid added 15 points and Cassius Winston chipped in 11 for the Spartans (15-2, 6-0 Big Ten), who have won 10 straight. They also beat the Nittany Lions (7-10, 0-6) for the 10th consecutive time. Michigan State turned the ball over 17 times and shot 49 percent from the field. Lamar Stevens led Penn State (7-10, 0-6) with 20 points. Myles Dread, Josh Reaves and Mike Watkins all scored 11 points in the loss.
