MSU gets a Gutty Road Win in Madison
If basketball in the Big Ten were a place, it might be the deepest, darkest corner of Siberia; cold, harsh, and not for the faint of heart. On Tuesday night, in a quintessential Big Ten January slugfest, the Spartans managed to rip the game from the hands of the home Badgers in the final moments to seize a high quality 69-65 win on the road.
In what was a tight game throughout, MSU found themselves down 5 late in the going, in one of the rare moments where any team held a lead of more than one possession. With 14 lead changes, and the largest lead being MSU’s 6-0 edge after hitting two three point shots to open the scoring, the entire game was tight and tense.
