EAST LANSING — It was there for the taking.
The first Big Ten title in five years. A win over a rival on its home court on its Senior Night.
For a while, Michigan basketball looked like it would pull it off.
The Wolverines led from the opening possession and took a six-point lead into halftime.
And then with just over 10 minutes left in the second half, everything fell apart.
U-M's offense went cold, and Cassius Winston went to work. MSU scored on eight straight possessions, taking a decisive advantage.
The Wolverines never sniffed the lead again.
