The Spartans have come out with the Breslin crowd behind them and hit five of their first seven field goals. Branden Dawson has six early points and baskets by Derrick Nix and Keith Appling have staked MSU to an early lead.
Dawson has attacked the rim and the Spartans have been aggressive at trying to put Michigan on its heels.
Michigan has weathered the storm, so far, not letting MSU pull away.
