Michigan State basketball breaks records in huge win at Nebraska

Having better luck in a tight game than the football team did, Michigan State basketball went to Lincoln and escaped with a 70-64 victory against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

No one said it was pretty, because it sure wasn’t, but the Spartans were once again without Kyle Ahrens and Josh Langford meaning that other guys such as Gabe Brown and Aaron Henry would have to step up once again — and that they did.

Henry finished with nine points on 4-of-5 shooting and Brown had three points, four rebounds and a block off the bench.

Michigan State improved to 16-2 overall and 7-0 in conference play, breaking a school record for consecutive Big Ten wins with 19 dating back to last season.
