Michigan State Overcomes Myles Powell's Superb Effort to Edge Seton Hall in Thriller

One week after the theme of many of college basketball's opening games seemed to be 'winning ugly,' No. 12 Seton Hall and No. 3 Michigan State held a battle that had anything but an early-season feel at the Prudential Center.

In a high-level, back-and-forth contest, the two traded blows down to the final minute before a pair of Cassius Winston free throws sealed a thrilling 76-73 Spartans win on the road.

The Pirates had a chance at a game-winner with the ball in star Myles Powell's hands and 14 seconds to go, but Powell was denied by Michigan State's lengthy defense.
