Big Ten skid is over, but things don't exactly get easy for Michigan State

Michigan State got its first Big Ten win Saturday, but don’t expect a parade.

After all, when that victory comes against a Nebraska team that is one of two winless teams in the conference and one that managed just two Big Ten wins a year ago, it’s best to take the win and move on to what’s next.

And what’s next in the Big Ten usually means a much stiffer test. That’s certainly the case for No. 23 Michigan State as it gets set to host No. 15 Rutgers on Tuesday night at Breslin Center.

“This will be our (fourth) ranked team that we played and so we've got to keep everything in perspective a little bit,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.
