East Lansing — Michigan State and Oakland have had their share of close games in the past, but more often, those tight matchups have happened on a neutral court.
At the Breslin Center, where the teams squared off on Friday night, it has been more of a one-sided series. That trend continued as No. 10 Michigan State remained perfect in 17 games against the Golden Grizzlies, running away with a 99-69 victory.
Junior guard Cassius Winston led the Spartans (10-2, 2-0 Big Ten) with 26 points on 10-for-13 shooting, including 4-for-7 from 3-point range. Nick Ward added 14 points and seven rebounds while Joshua Langford scored 12 for the Spartans.
