East Lansing – A win over Nebraska is one thing. Knocking off the No. 15 team in the country is another.
Michigan State, coming off its first Big Ten victory over the weekend in Nebraska, validated that win by returning home on Tuesday night and defeating Rutgers, 68-45, at the Breslin Center.
Aaron Henry was the start once again for No. 23 Michigan State, scoring 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting for the Spartans (8-3, 2-3 Big Ten). It was the second straight game Henry reached the 20-point mark after a career-high 27 at Nebraska.
Joshua Langford added 11 points with seven coming in the final five minutes to help put the game away.
