New York – The wind chill was in the single digits on Saturday afternoon, and the deep freeze extended into Madison Square Garden as Michigan State took on Rutgers.
In an ugly offensive display, it was Rutgers that made enough shots down the stretch, surging past Michigan State for a 61-55 victory.
The Spartans held an eight-point lead early in the second half, but the offense never got going as Rutgers put together a decisive 13-2 run that turned a five-point Michigan State lead into a six-point gap for the Scarlet Knights, a lead they would never give up.
