Too many times over the years, a trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium has usually meant misery for Michigan State. And too many times in the Champions Classic, Michigan State taking on Duke meant a loss for the Spartans.
All of that changed on Tuesday night as No. 8 Michigan State overcame an ugly start to roar back an knock off No. 6 Duke, 75-69. It was Michigan State’s first victory at the legendary arena and it was the Spartans’ first victory over the Blue Devils in the annual event that also includes Kansas and Kentucky.
Rocket Watts scored 20 to lead the Spartans (3-0) while Aaron Henry scored 14, had five rebounds and five assists.
