EAST LANSING — Rocket Watts caught the pass on the right wing and slippedfrom his defender.

Kentucky big man Nate Sestina slid over to help and got in front of the Michigan State freshman. Watts took two bounces with his left hand, then crossed over and back with a nasty speed dribble between his legs. Sestina fell back on his heels, and Watts rose for his first shot as a college basketball player.
