Lahaina, Hawaii – What first looked like a stroll down the beach quickly became anything but for Michigan State on Tuesday.
Cruising to what appeared to be an easy win over Georgia at the Maui Invitational and one that was going to remove a lot of frustration from the first-round loss to Virginia Tech on Monday, things changed dramatically early in the second half as the Spartans enjoyed a 28-point lead.
But freshman Anthony Edward took over for Georgia, sparking a run that pulled the Bulldogs within two with two minutes to play before some late buckets and stops for the Spartans allowed Michigan State to hang on for the 93-85 victory at the Lahaina Civic Center.
