Cold Wolverine shooting helps Spartans pick up slight edge

Matt McQuaid hits all three free throws, giving the Spartans a 52-51 lead. Charles Matthews and Eli Brooks each miss a shot on Michigan's next possession, making the Wolverines 0 for its last 7.

Michigan gets a stop on the other end, though, and Zavier Simpson snaps a scoring streak longer than five minutes with a layup to make it 53-52. Cassius Winston puts the Spartans back out front with a layup of his own on the next possession.

Kenny Goins drills a jumper after the Spartans get a stop to give Michigan State a 3-point lead.
