Centre Daily Times | 03/06/2005 | Spartans blow out Nittany Lions after halftime:
“EAST LANSING, Mich. — Tom Izzo had his head in his hands, Ben Luber was piling up points and Michigan State — on Senior Night of all nights — looked shaken and beatable in the Breslin Center.
“That was the first half.
“In the second half, the No. 14 Spartans brought Penn State quickly back into reality.
“Michigan State used a barrage of second-half 3-pointers and a revitalized defense Saturday night to bury the Nittany Lions 90-64.
Alan Anderson and Chris Hill had big home finales for the Spartans (22-5, 14-2 Big Ten), who won for the eighth time in nine games and own the second seed in next week’s conference Tournament.
“Penn State, which led for most of the first half and by as many as eight points, dropped its 32nd straight conference road game and fell to 0-14 all-time in East Lansing. …”
