No. 12 Michigan State was led by senior forward Frankie Fidler in its win over Penn State on Wednesday. The veteran wing scored a season-high 18 points while grabbing a team-high seven boards.

Riding deep contributions that saw eight players score seven points or more, No. 12 Michigan State (15-2, 6-0 Big Ten) beat Penn State, 90-85, Wednesday at the Breslin Center. But as foul trouble and poor defense seeped into the second half, the Spartans aren’t too keen on celebrating the win.

Rutgers extended its losing streak to fix, falling to No. 22 Michigan State, 70-60, on Wednesday night at Jersey Mike's Arena.

No. 22-ranked Spartans had three players score in double figures while picking up 70-60 road win over Scarlet Knights.
