East Lansing — Michigan State is making its final push toward and NCAA Tournament berth and it doesn’t have the luxury of relying on veteran players to lead it through the final two weeks of the regular season.
On Thursday night against Nebraska, the formula the Spartans will need the rest of the way was clear as it was the four freshmen that led Michigan State to an 88-72 victory over Nebraska at Breslin Center.
Miles Bridges and Nick Ward each scored 20 to lead the Spartans — the first Michigan State freshman duo to score 20 or more in the same game since Earvin “Magic” Johnson (31) and Jay Vincent (22) on Jan.
