Michigan State basketball makes statement with huge win at Wisconsin

When you ask any Michigan State fan where they hate to see the Spartans play in Big Ten play, one of the first answers has to be the Kohl Center in Madison against the Badgers.

Wisconsin is an incredibly tough team to beat at home, but Michigan State didn’t back down and beat the No. 20 Badgers on Tuesday night, 67-59.

How did the Spartans do it? They played great defense on Ethan Happ in the first half, put together a solid run in the second half and closed out the game emphatically with a Kenny Goins 3-pointer and a Nick Ward and-one.
