Tom Izzo, Michigan State’s legendary coach, left State College genuinely impressed by Penn State’s young basketball squad and coach Mike Rhoades. Despite a tough loss, Izzo said Penn State outplayed his Spartans for most of the game and believes Rhoades is building something special. With a roster full of freshmen and new faces, the Nittany Lions pushed a top-10 team to the brink. Izzo’s advice? Stick with Rhoades and this group—he sees big things ahead if they stay together. What do you think: Is Penn State basketball on the rise? #Sports #PennState #CollegeBasketball
