It has been a very long time since the Michigan State Spartans basketball team tasted victory. If you combine the almost three-week COVID pause and a four-game losing streak, MSU officially went a full month without a win. On Saturday night, the Green and White defeated last place Nebraska by 10 points to officially get off of the schneid. The Spartans moved to 9-7 overall (3-7 in Big Ten play).
Earlier in the week, MSU traveled to Iowa City and came close to stealing a victory against the top-10 Hawkeyes. But, Josh Langford’s shot to tie the game rimmed out and the Spartans were once again denied a potentially momentum-altering, if not season-altering win.
