Michigan State took a 33-28 lead into halftime against the No. 15 seed Bryant Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday night. While the Spartans got 15 off the bench from Coen Carr, Bryant got 15 combined from Rafael Pinzon and Earl Timberlake.
Timberlake might have scored more but he spent part of the first half in the locker room getting patched up after he took an errant elbow to the forehead while fighting for the ball under the basket with Michigan State's Carson Cooper.
