Carson Cooper’s last-second free throw misses were the difference between an overtime game and Michigan State losing a heartbreaker at No. 13 Nebraska.
The Spartans fell 58-56, dropping their second ranked game of the season by six points or less, and falling to 12-2 overall. Nebraska was just a little too much defensively, holding the Spartans to 34 percent shooting, but Michigan State’s defense got back on track, holding a really good offense to 58 points and 32 percent shooting.
Michigan State will now get a couple of days off before facing No. 24 USC which is coming off a 30-point loss to Michigan.
