🔼 Locked It Down. Michigan State men’s basketball allowed just 11 points (yes, only 11 points!) in the first half against Georgia Southern on Tuesday night, winning 86-55.
The offense was as balanced as the defense was stingy, with five players scoring in double figures — Jaden Akins (14 points), Tyson Walker (13), A.J. Hoggard (12), Malik Hall (11) and Mady Sissoko (10).
