Michigan State sloppy but beats Grand Valley in exhibition

East Lansing – Ready or not, it’s time to play some basketball that counts.

Michigan State wrapped up its exhibition season Thursday night at Breslin Center, rolling over Division II Grand Valley State, 83-60, in a sometimes sloppy effort indicative of a team still finding its way.

Michigan State's Gabe Brown, right, shoots against Grand Valley State's Jake Van Tubbergen (2) during the first half.

Freshman Max Christie scored 14 and Joey Hauser 13 for the Spartans while Gabe Brown scored 11 and Marcus Bingham Jr. 10. Eleven players were in the scoring column for Michigan State with just more than four minutes to play. Those 11 players represent the likely rotation this season as Michigan State looks to bounce back from a difficult 2021-22.
