East Lansing – Michigan State desperately needed a win, and it got that on Saturday night against Nebraska.
But that’s really about all the Spartans can take after beating the Cornhuskers, 66-56, at Breslin Center to end a four-game skid. It was far from an impressive showing as Michigan State took a step back overall after playing well in a loss at Iowa on Tuesday.
The Spartans (9-7, 3-7 Big Ten) finished with a season-high 22 turnovers and struggled on the offensive end, going 6-for-23 from 3-point range and shooting just 33% in the second half.
