EAST LANSING — Max Christie made a strong first impression. Gabe Brown flashed some highlight-reel moves. And Michigan State basketball did what it should in its exhibition opener against Ferris State.
The Spartans blasted the Bulldogs with a 48-25 run between the midpoint of the first half and the 12-minute mark of the second en route to 92-58 victory Wednesday night at Breslin Center.
Brown led MSU with 19 points, while Christie added 17 in his first appearance in green and white.
MSU crushed Ferris on the boards 52-27 and shot 52% from the field while limiting the Bulldogs to just 31%.
