Michigan State Breaks Out of Funk as Matt Costello Helps Fuel Sparty Resurgence

Denzel Valentine can do it all for Michigan State, but Matt Costello has proven time and again he doesn't have to go it alone.

The 6'9" senior forward was absolutely everywhere Saturday night in No. 11 Michigan State's 74-65 win over No. 7 Maryland, playing an invaluable role in snapping what had been a three-game losing streak for the Spartans.

It wasn't just the 15 points and 12 rebounds—his fourth double-double in the last nine games—that made Costello stand out.

He played outstanding defense in the post to limit Diamond Stone to just three field-goal attempts.
