Michigan State took on Duke in another Champions Classic showdown. The Spartans started with more energy but the same cold shooting streak of the first two game of the season. That doomed the Spartans as they fell behind 11 at the half and could not dig their way out in the second half.
The game had some promising signs in that second half, and could prove to be a turning point in hindsight. For now, it was a loss where their opponent looked in control for the bulk of the game.
Details of the Grading Curve for this Game: Duke is good.
