The Northwestern Wildcats snapped the Michigan State Spartans’ nine-game winning streak on Saturday. The Wildcats defeated the Spartans by a final score of 64-62 at the Breslin Center.
The Spartans played lethargic and were unorganized, and the Wildcats capitalized on that early and did not let up for the entire game.
First out in the postgame press conference was Northwestern head coach Chris Collins.
“This was a really important win for us,” Collins began. “You know when you play this team, and this program...every single time you play this program you write toughness, you write rebounding on the board, and you write transition defense on the board.
