EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State couldn't avoid another slow start, but by the second half, the early miscues mattered little.
Behind a barrage of 3-pointers and a healthy dose of play-making from point guard A.J. Hoggard , the 10th-ranked Spartans took off in the second half to roll over Michigan, 83-67, at a packed Breslin Center on Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Max Christie scored 16 to lead Michigan State, going 3 for 4 from 3-point range, while Malik Hall had 15 points with a pair of triples and Joey Hauser added 14 with two 3-pointers as well. Hoggard finished with 11 points and a career-high 10 assists and turned the ball over only once.
