Michigan State dials long distance in victory

Columbus, Ohio — Tom Izzo has said often this season he doesn’t want his team to live and die by the 3-pointer. But on a night the Spartans were looking for an offensive spark, the long-range shot came in quite handy.

Bryn Forbes score 27 points, including going 7-for-10 from 3-point range to lead No. 6 Michigan State to an 81-62 victory over Ohio State Tuesday at Value City Arena.

The Spartans (23-5, 10-5 Big Ten) were 14-for-22 from 3-point range with Denzel Valentine going 4-for-7 and scoring 17 points, handing out eight assists and grabbing five rebounds.
