East Lansing – Michigan State knew it was in for a fight Tuesday night as Nebraska visited the Breslin Center as both teams jumped back into Big Ten play.
The Cornhuskers have played plenty of teams tough this season, taking Purdue to overtime and beating up on Iowa last week.
So it came as a relief to a packed house as Michigan State put together arguably its best half of the season in the opening 20 minutes, riding the shooting of Tyson Walker as it opened a big lead and was able to hang on in the second on its way to a 74-56 victory.
