ANN ARBOR – Lansing State Journal sports reporter Nathaniel Bott breaks down No. 12 Michigan State's 2-1 loss at No. 6 Michigan on Saturday night.
What happened
MSU came into Yost Ice Arena with confidence, coming off a 2-1 win on Friday over UM to snap a six game losing against it's biggest rival. Now, it looked for an important sweep, eyeing more separation in the conference standings and ending the first half of the Big Ten season on the highest of notes.
The Wolverines, however, had revenge on it's mind, and the opening 10 minutes were controlled by the home side.
