East Lansing — Michigan State hadn’t played in more than a week, and it took a few minutes from the ninth-ranked Spartans to find their rhythm on Sunday night.
When they did, there was nothing stopping them from cruising to a victory in their first game since it went on the road last weekend and knocked off Florida, as Michigan State used a 27-4 run in the first half to blow the game open and earn a 104-83 victory over Green Bay at the Breslin Center.
Nick Ward scored a career-high 28 points on 12-for-13 shooting while grabbing nine rebounds and blocking four shots for the Spartans.
