There is no way to sugar coat this. That was one of the worst performances by a Michigan State team I have seen in a long time. Considering what was at stake, the opponent, and everything else coming into this game, this was just an absolutely pathetic performance.
Minnesota cruised to an easy 81-56 victory and Michigan State is now 0-3 in the Big Ten for the first time in 18 years.
Once again, MSU struggled in all facets of the game. The offense was a complete mess early, and that dug them into a hole they had no chance of climbing out of because the defense remains bad as well.
