EAST LANSING — It took a little time to shake the haze, as well as one of the biggest problems from a season-opening loss.
Slowly on Friday night, Michigan State basketball started to look a lot more cohesive and did everything it needed and then some against Western Michigan to pull away for a 90-46 blowout in its home opener at Breslin Center.
Gabe Brown finished with 17 points and seven rebounds as all 11 Spartans who played in the first half scored before Izzo emptied the bench of subs. Joey Hauser posted a double-double, with 12 points and 12 rebounds along with four assists.
