In a week that seemingly was never going to end for Michigan State fans, the basketball team came up with a nice victory on the road against the mediocre Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-8, 0-2). Michigan State (14-1, 1-1) has been playing without Denzel Valentine
For the third game without Denzel Valentine, Michigan State looked shaky on offense, still, and needed to find other scorers not named Eron Harris and Bryn Forbes. Those two combined for 30 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, but it was Matt Costello and Deyonta Davis who picked up the secondary scoring.
