Lahaina, Hawaii — It didn’t take long for basketball in paradise to turn into a nightmare for Michigan State.
With Virginia Tech nailing 3-pointers from all over the court, Cassius Winston on the bench for large parts of the first half in foul trouble, and big man Xavier Tillman struggling to hang on to the ball while committing five turnovers, things simply didn’t add up for the No. 3 Spartans on Monday at the Lahaina Civic Center on the first day of the Maui Invitational.
