The Spartans locked up the Huskers and held them to just 38.5 percent shooting in a 72-61 win on Feb. 2 in Lincoln. Michigan State led by as many as 20 points in that game while shooting 55.8 percent from the field, including 11-for-17 from distance. With how well MSU shot the ball, head coach Tom Izzo told his guys that the Spartans will have to win with defense, as there’s no guarantee they shoot that well again.
