EAST LANSING — It was Michigan State basketball’s second game in three days, and the Spartans looked a little lethargic.
Joey Hauser got them moving after halftime — just in time for an upcoming clash between siblings.
The 6-foot-9 junior began attacking the boards and bombing away from outside for his third double-double of the young season to help No. 12 MSU to a 79-61 win over Western Michigan on Sunday at the Breslin Center.
Hauser drained 4 of 6 3-point attempts during a 21-6 takeover run in the second half. He also had 15 of his game-high 24 points and seven of his 10 rebounds after halftime, adding four assists.
