Michigan State basketball faces first Nick Ward-less test vs. Rutgers

What a roller-coaster of emotions the 2018-19 season has been for Michigan State thus far. One minute the Spartans are dominating everyone in their path and the next Josh Langford and Nick Ward suffer serious injuries, the latter being ruled out indefinitely, hoping to return by the end of the season.

The first game without Ward will be telling for Michigan State (21-5, 12-3 Big Ten). Will they be able to manage without one of the best big men in the conference? They sure looked fine without him in the second half against Ohio State, out-scoring the Buckeyes 37-13.
