Michigan State boosted its NCAA tournament resume last week by beating Iowa and handing Maryland its first home loss. The 17th-ranked Spartans climbed six spots since last week to No. 7 in the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rankings — a comprehensive evaluation metric used by the NCAA tournament selection committee — entering Tuesday’s road game at No. 20 Penn State. It’s another opportunity to bolster their profile before the regular-season finale Sunday.
