Michigan State started the game strong, with Jaden Akins scoring a 3 pointer on the Spartan’s first possession. He has since not put anymore points on the board. State also had great showings out on defense at the beginning of the half, causing Northwestern turn the ball over on a shot clock violation.
Spartan's defense experienced some let up into the first half though.
