East Lansing — In some ways, Saturday night was like any game night for Gabe Brown.
The Michigan State junior played 18 minutes, scored six points and got after it on the glass, grabbing seven rebounds in the Spartans’ 66-56 victory over Nebraska.
And not long after the game had ended, there was Brown in his familiar postgame spot, getting up shots at a mostly empty Breslin Center.
“I mean basketball is all I've got,” Brown explained after the game. “That’s the only thing that makes me happy, so if I can play it as much as I can, that's what I like to do.
