The first exhibition game of the season is officially in the books, and Michigan State basketball took Bowling Green down at home, 75-66.
The game wasn’t exactly the prettiest, but Bowling Green seems to have the Spartans’ number as the Falcons nearly pulled off the upset a year ago in East Lansing. Tum Tum Nairn seems to have helped with the game plan because the Falcons just hung around all game.
In the end, though, Michigan State was able to clamp down and hold on for an exhibition win that will surely provide some game tape to learn from.
