Junior forwards Isaac Howard and Daniel Russell scored in the shootout to give MSU the extra point in the Big Ten standings after tying in regulation.

No. 7 Michigan State clamped down defensively while rolling to a 73-51 victory against Minnesota on Tuesday night at the Breslin Center to extend its winning streak to 13. This is the first time in Tom Izzo’s 30 seasons coaching the Spartans they went undefeated in both December and January.

It was one of the most exciting games of the season for Michigan State basketball, and it was also their eleventh straight win, as the Spartans knocked off Illinois 80 to 78.
