Lincoln, Neb. – For the better part of a half on Tuesday night, it looked like Michigan State was still reeling from its collapse on Saturday at Iowa.
The Spartans were missing open shots and flatfooted on defense as Nebraska was rolling on Senior Day at Pinnacle Bank Arena, leading by 15 points late in the first half.
But as Michigan State learned at Iowa, the game goes 40 minutes, longer in the case of the loss to the Hawkeyes. The Spartans ran with that and caught fire in the second half, using a 15-1 run midway through to pull away for an 80-67 victory.
