EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Draymond Green had 14 points and 16 rebounds to lead Michigan State.
The Spartans (18-5, 7-3 Big Ten) ended a three-game skid in the rivalry and moved into sole possession of second place in the conference behind third-ranked Ohio State.
The Wolverines (17-7, 7-4) haven’t won or lost consecutive games in nearly a month.
Green, who matched Michigan’s rebound total by himself, played after spraining his left knee on Tuesday in a loss to Illinois.
The Spartans took control with a 17-7 run early in the first half and pulled away with eight straight points to take a 57-40 lead with just under 3 minutes left.
