Sports: Spartans 70, Wolverines 62

Michigan State beat Michigan, 70-62 on Sunday. The Spartans go to 13-9 overall and 5-4 in Big Ten play and won their fifth straight over Michigan. The Wolverines fall to 4-5 in the conference, but 14-8 overall.

Cassius Winston scored 16 points to lead MSU. Miles Bridges had 15 points and 13 rebounds. Nick Ward had 13 points for the Spartans.

Derrick Walton scored 19 of his season-high 24 points after halftime for the Wolverines, but he didn't get a lot of help. Michigan's leading scorer, Zak Irvin, was scoreless on 0-for-8 shooting after not being able to practice in the days leading up to the game because he hasn't been feeling well.

Michigan was held to 34 percent shooting, its worst performance in the Big Ten this season, after making 63 percent of its shots in a 30-point win over Indiana at home on Thursday night.

MSU Coach Tom Izzo talks about it tonight at 7 on the Tom Izzo Show, on 95.3 WBCK.

MSU is at Nebraska on Thursday. Michigan is off this week until Saturday when they host Ohio State.
