Jaden Akins scored 18 points and Jaxon Kohler finished a rebound shy of tying a career high with 12 and Michigan State throttled Nebraska 89-52
on Saturday. Michigan State reserves Jase Richardson scored 16 points and Xavier Booker scored 11 and the two combined to finish 9-for-13 shooting. Each played 15 minutes. The Spartans shot 51.8% and 95.7% from the foul line. Reserve Andrew Morgan scored 14 points and Brice Williams 11 in Nebraska's conference opener. The Spartans built a 7-0 lead before Nebraska scored seven straight to tie it.
The Cornhuskers' Williams made a pair of free throws to again tie it, this time at 11, but the Spartans outscored Nebraska 13-2 in a span of a little more than 5:30 minutes and were up 24-13 with 7:36 left before halftime. Nebraska rallied to get within 26-21 on Andrew Morgan's jump shot with 6:01 left. The Spartans countered with a Coen Carr dunk plus a 3-pointer and two free throws from Richardson and Michigan State led by double digits for the remainder.
