This was three smaller games crammed into one.  The first game was MSU dominating the Buckeyes in the first fifteen minutes of the game.  The Spartans built up leads of 27-7 and 32-11 and this game looked like it was going to be a blowout.

The second game was OSU’s big run.  They closed out the second half on a 10-2 run and this carried over into the second half when they expanded their run to 25-7 to make it a three point game.

The third game was a back and forth game.  OSU would pull to within five points before MSU would go on a mini-run and while they never got it back to a ten point lead, they did enough to hold on to win.  The final minutes dragged on with OSU fouling to try to get back into it but the Sparants ended up winning it 66-60.

Raymar Morgan disappeared in this one, mostly due to foul trouble.  He scored just six points and his first field goal didn’t come until there was just 13 points left in the second half.  Drew Neitzel led the way with thirteen and he had three big three pointers.  Two of those were early and the third was in the middle of OSU’s big run and it made the difference between MSU keeping the lead and OSU tying it up.

The Spartans completely dominated on the glass.  They had 39 rebounds with 17 of those being on the offensive glass.  This made up for the pathetic nine for seventeen that the Spartans shot from the line.

Next up are the Gophers on Sunday.  Game time is 4 pm.
