EAST LANSING, MI — It was a familiar storyline for this year’s Michigan State Spartans in their Big Ten opener against Wisconsin at the Breslin Center last night in East Lansing.
Slow start, missed opportunities mixed in with a few turnovers, and boom you are down double digits fairly early. The Spartans trailed by 11 at the half and ended up bowing 70-57 to the top 20 Badgers.
Tyson Walker led MSU with 22 points while AJ Hoggard added 14. The Spartans were outrebounded 36-22 by the bigger and more experienced Badgers.
Next up for MSU (4-4) is a trip to Lincoln, Neb., to play the Cornhuskers on Sunday evening.
