Michigan State basketball thunders back to knock off Nebraska, 80-67, with lots of 3s

Poor shooting and porous defense for the first 20 minutes put Michigan State basketball in jeopardy of a second rough road loss in three days.

Sensational shooting and disruptive defense in the final 20 minutes gave the Spartans a ridiculous recovery to stun Nebraska.

Joey Hauser, Jaden Akins and Tyson Walker led a sizzling second-half 3-point barrage as MSU rallied to an 80-67 victory Tuesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska.

And three days after blowing a 13-point lead in the final 2:03 of regulation at Iowa on Saturday, the Spartans came back from a 15-point first-half deficit to overtake the Cornhuskers with a 35-12 eruption (lessened only by Nebraska scoring the final four points) in the last 13:30.
