An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.
Michigan State didn’t bring its A-game on the offensive end on Saturday but was stifling defensively to pick up a big-time rivalry victory over Michigan, 59-53, from the Breslin Center. The victory extended Michigan State’s winning streak to six games and improves them to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in conference play.
Offensively, the Spartans were led by the trio of A.J. Hoggard, Tyson Walker and Malik Hall. Those three combined for 44 of the Spartans’ 59 points on Saturday.
