The Michigan State Spartans stay perfect in the Big Ten Conference despite ball security issues, defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers by a final score of 79-67. The Spartans move to 13-2 on the season and 4-0 in the Big Ten, while the Huskers fall to 6-9 overall and 0-4 in the Big Ten. Nebraska did win the turnover battle, though. MSU coughed up the ball 19 times to the Huskers’ 15.
In the battle of five-star freshman guards, Max Christie for the Spartans and Bryce McGowens for Nebraska, Christie reigned supreme, scoring a team-high (and career-high) 21 points.
