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.
