MSU returned to its home floor at Breslin Center after a thrilling victory over Kansas, and they showed no hangover from it, handling the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions 92-46. UAPB is a team who for the second straight season is opening up with 18 straight road games, and the Izzone crowd in East Lansing makes Breslin one of the toughest places for any opponent to play.
The Spartans were strong from the opening possession, which was a 3-pointer from Bryn Forbes just six seconds into the game. MSU was led by Denzel Valentine, who nearly recorded his second straight triple-double.
