Michigan State basketball was tested on Saturday night, and luckily was able to get by with a victory over Bowling Green.
The Spartans trailed most of the game, but was able to lockdown the Falcons in the final minutes to earn the 86-72 win. Michigan State held Bowling Green without a field goal for the final seven minutes of the game, and ended the night on an 18-0 run for the victory.
The Spartans had seven different players reach double-digits in points in the win. Jaden Akins led the group with 13 points, and also finished the night with 12 rebounds for a double-double.
Michigan State will return to the court on Tuesday in one final game before the Maui Invitational the week of Thanksgiving. The Spartans host Samford from the Breslin Center in that matchup.
Before moving onto the next game, let’s hear what head coach Tom Izzo had to say about the Spartans’ performance on Saturday night.
