The Michigan State men’s basketball team returned to action on Tuesday night looking to get back into the win column, and the Spartans did just that.
Michigan State defeated No. 4 Kentucky 86-77 in double overtime to improve to 2-1 on the season.
“It was a big program win, not an individual win,” Michigan State head coach Izzo said after the win.
Last Friday, Michigan State led No. 2 Gonzaga for a large majority of the second half, but ultimately lost the game by a final score of 64-63. The story was the opposite on Tuesday as the Spartans were trailing for a majority of the second half.
