When Rutgers took an 11-point lead early in the second half, you could feel the crowd growing uneasy and the tension could have been sliced with a knife.
However, Michigan State answered the call and went on a huge run to regain the lead and it never looked back. In fact, the Spartans went on a 20-3 run to capture that lead back for the first time since the opening minutes of the game and then they built the lead up to 16 before eventually winning 71-60.
Tom Izzo got incredible play from a couple of his starters — Xavier Tillman and Cassius Winston — while the rest of his lineup played big minutes to secure the comeback win.
