Michigan State Basketball has lost their first of two games against No. 2 Michigan in a game where they failed to make a single three-point shot. The final score was 69-50.

Aaron Henry led the way for the Spartans with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, an assist and a steal in 36 minutes. It was an Aaron Henry flagrant foul in the first half that really let Michigan pull away, and the game wasn’t in question after that.

Michigan State looked winded after a tough schedule coming into this game, and Michigan was able to bounce-back from their loss to Illinois, being led by Hunter Dickinson and Franz Wagner who scored 14 points and 19 points, respectively.

The Spartans will get another shot at Michigan, this time at home on Sunday at 4:30 pm ET on CBS.
