Ann Arbor — At one point this season, Michigan State won nine games in a row.
Since then, any semblance of consistency has been nothing more than a fantasy for the Spartans.
Just four days after arguably its best win of the season, Michigan State turned in another stinker, falling behind early and showing little fight Tuesday night against its rival as Michigan rolled to an 87-70 victory at the Crisler Center.
Any momentum that might have been built by Saturday’s win over then-No. 4 Purdue disappeared in a haze of Hunter Dickinson post moves and timely 3-pointers from more than one Wolverine.
