East Lansing — Michigan State got a head start in its preparation for the Maui Invitational on Monday night, hosting Charleston Southern in a campus game for the event that begins next week in Hawaii.

The Spartans didn’t take long to heat up, opening an early lead then dominating late in the first and well into the second on the way to a 94-46 victory at the Breslin Center.

Twelve players scored for No. 3 Michigan State (3-1), which now takes some time off before heading West at the end of the week in preparation for next Monday’s tournament opener against Virginia Tech.
