EAST LANSING, Mich. — If anyone ever wonders, there are few easy nights in the Big Ten.
Michigan State realized that first-hand on Sunday night as Northwestern rolled into the Breslin Center and controlled the game, getting a big bucket in the final seconds from Spartan killer Boo Buie to pull off the 70-63 victory in the Big Ten opener.
It was the third loss for Michigan State in its last four meetings with Northwestern and the second straight at home as the Spartans (5-4) have now lost two in a row after getting blown out on Wednesday at Notre Dame.
