Aaron Henry has No. 17 Michigan St. on roll; Purdue next

Aaron Henry has emerged as a difference-maker for Michigan State.

It's no coincidence that the Spartans have won their last two games after starting out 0-3 in the Big Ten. Henry carried them to victories over Nebraska and Rutgers by making big plays at both ends of the floor. The 23rd-ranked Spartans can even their conference record with a home win over Purdue on Friday.

Henry scored a career-best 27 points in Michigan State's 84-77 triumph over the host Cornhuskers on Saturday. He followed up that performance with 20 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals in a 68-45 home win over the Scarlet Knights on Tuesday.
