Cassius Winston’s hot shooting pushes Michigan State to fifth straight win

EAST LANSING — Four days removed from it’s 104-83 thumping of Green Bay on Sunday, No. 10 Michigan State (10-2, 2-0 B1G) notched its fifth straight win Friday night, cruising past Oakland (4-9) 99-69.

“There were some good things in there and there were some bad things,” head coach Tom Izzo said following his team’s 30-point win. “We wanted to leave here feeling good and I feel decent.”

The Spartans were paced by their junior guard Cassius Winston, who led all scorers with a season-high 26 points. Winston was dialed in from the opening tip and had one of his more efficient offensive outputs, finishing 10-for-13, including knocking down four 3-point baskets.
