East Lansing — Breslin Center was buzzing on Tuesday night.

Duke was in town for a marquee matchup as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge while Draymond Green was also on hand for his No. 23 to be sent to the rafters as the Spartans legend was having his number retired.

However, that buzz died quickly as No. 10 Duke dominated from the opening tip, racing past No. 11 Michigan State for an 87-75 victory, a bit of revenge for the Blue Devils after the Spartans won the regional final matchup last season to reach the Final Four.
