Minneapolis — There was another slow start for Michigan State on Sunday, but this time the Spartans shook it off in short order to end a two-game road skid.
Cassius Winston scored 18 points and handed out eight assists while Xavier Tillman scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead No. 11 Michigan State to a 70-52 victory over Minnesota at Williams Arena to move back into a first-place tie with Illinois atop the Big Ten.
