Make it 18-0.
No. 15 Michigan State basketball used an interior advantage and its deep rotation to craft big scoring runs while relying on its defense to knock out Oakland, 72-49, on Saturday in front of 18,145 fans at Little Caesars Arena.
Twelve different Spartans scored, including six of them netting between seven and 10 points each, led by Aaron Henry’s 10. The Golden Grizzlies (5-6) shot just 26.2% (17 of 65) and was behind by as many as 29.
MSU coach Tom Izzo has never lost to Oakland’s Greg Kampe in the 18 meetings since the series began in 1998.
