The Spartans have done a great job with not allowing Washington to make three point shots as they are only 1-8 from beyond the arc.
Washington's three-point woes are biting them (yet again) early in this game. With 7:55 remaining in the first half, the Huskies are 1-7 from long range as they trail Michigan State 26-18

Washington is 1-of-its-last-8 in field goal attempts and trails 26-18. Michigan State will have two free throws after the break.#Huskies #PurpleReign
Michigan State has done a great job on the defensive side of the ball as they held the Huskies to 0-4 shooting from the field in their last four attempts before the final tv timeout.
Timeout on the floor with 3:01 remaining in the first half. Spartans lead 36-25. Points off of turnovers and 2nd chance points the difference in the first half. Michigan State has nine 2nd chance points and nine points off turnovers. #Huskies @CascadiasportsN

Washington would start to knock down some shots and would get back into this game, Jeremy Fears would call a timeout with a little under 45 seconds left in the half. Kur Teng would miss a three point shot, but msu would force a Washignton tournover and would unfortunatly miss another three point shot attempted by Jordan Scott. MSU would go into halftime up eight with a score 39-31.
HALF: MSU leads Washington 39-31. A 10-0 run fueled by Kur Teng's 3s making the difference.

Strong half from MSU. Hannes Steinbach has 11 pts and 7 boards for UW, but the Spartans also got 7 ORBs that half. MSU bench outscoring UW's 17-0
Also there's a halftime weiner dog race.
Second Half
To start the second half, MSU looks sluggish while shooting 4-12 from the field. MSU would also have unnecessary fouls as freshman Cam Ward would have an unusual fast break fould that would be upgraded to a flagrant one as it was deemed unnecisary.
I don’t like how this half is trending for MSU. They look like they’re unfocused and simply going the motions.

MSU would also struggle from the free throw line in the game against Washington. The Spartans have shot 6-12 from the line.
MSU once again 50% from the free throw line…..

MSU sucks at free throws when I watch them attempt free throws.

Jeremy Fears is having another great performance as he is leading the Spartans in scoring once agains with 15 on 5-7 shooting with under eight minutes left in the game.
Jeremy Fears is annihilating Washington in the PnR right now

I think another Fears kid will be on an NBA roster next year. Jeremy Fears is hooping!

Jeremy Fears has stepped up big time in the game against Washington. Jaxon Kohler struggled as he finished with only five points in the game on uncharacteristically bad shooting from the field as he was 3-11 and 0-5 from three point range.
This is two straight games where MSU’s offense has been carried by Jeremy Fears at a time when the rest of the squad looked stuck in mud (1H vs IU, 2H vs UW).

His all around leadership is coming to the forefront.
Fears leads, teammates follow.
Michigan State will now move to 16-2 on the season and will also move to 6-1 in the Big Ten. MSU will also have its first west coast win as they lost both west coast games last season.
Victory for MSU! 16-2! 💚🤍

East Lansing is 2,300 miles away from Seattle and MSU fans are out numbering Washington fans tonight 😂
