The Spartans used a smothering defensive performance and turned up the tempo for their first conference win, running away from the Nittany Lions early for a 92-61 victory Thursday night at Breslin Center.

It was the fifth straight win for MSU (9-5, 1-2 Big Ten), which has not lost since falling at home to Wisconsin and at Nebraska in early December to open conference play and continues to exude growing confidence.

Hall tied his career high with 24 points on 9-for-12 shooting, adding five rebounds and four assists. Tyson Walker turned in an artful two-way performance, finishing with 22 points while tying a career high with six steals and adding five assists. Mady Sissoko equaled his career-best with 12 rebounds, eight of those coming in the second half.

“It’s a big thing, especially going to this Big Ten play,” senior Malik Hall said. “Coach has been harping on it to some of our young guys, just how crazy the Big Ten is. Every game is a battle, every game can be close. Literally, every single game.

“So it’s just something that the confidence just helps us flow into the next one and keeps us going.”
