Lincoln, Neb. — Winning on the road is tough in the Big Ten.
It’s a proposition made much easier when Cassius Winston is your point guard.
The junior was outstanding Thursday, scoring a career-high 29 points and handing out six assists to lead No. 6 Michigan State to a 70-64 victory over Nebraska at Pinnacle Bank Arena. It was the 19th straight Big Ten regular-season victory for the Spartans, establishing a program record. It also ended Nebraska’s 20-game home winning streak.
Nick Ward added 15 points and 10 rebounds for Michigan State (16-2, 7-0 Big Ten).
