ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In its first game since a campus shooting claimed the lives of three students earlier this week, Michigan State fell just shy of a win against in-state foe Michigan. The Wolverines pulled away, 84-72, in the final minutes of the game.
The Spartans received a warm welcome to the campus of their usually heated rival prior to tip-off. Michigan's team and its student section wore special shirts to show support for Michigan State, and fans greeted the visitors with a standing ovation when they took the court to warm up.
