When you think about the worst possible start to a game Michigan State could have had, the Spartans did even worse on Friday night. After smashing UCLA on Thursday, the Spartans got off to a sluggish start against the Texas Longhorns in the Las Vegas Invitational title game before racing back to win, 78-68.
The 19-point comeback wouldn’t have been possible without the sharp-shooting of Josh Langford who was held scoreless early on, but caught fire and finished with 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting.
Right when everyone was counting Michigan State out after it trailed by nearly 20 points, they stormed back in true Spartan fashion.
