It wasn’t pretty, but Michigan State basketball survived a serious upset scare from Bowling Green on Saturday evening.
Michigan State trailed for most of the game, but was able to put a lockdown defense in place in the final minutes to earn the 86-72 victory over the Falcons. The Spartans ended the game on an 18-0 run to earn the victory.
Seven different Spartans reached double digits in scoring in the win. Jaden Akins led the bunch with 13 points, including a big-time three late in the game.
Michigan State improved to 3-1 overall with the win over Bowling Green. The Spartans will return to the court next week in another home matchup against Samford on Tuesday.
