I'm only posting this for the sake of completion. I had to catch a flight the morning after the game and was away for the next 2...
NU really struggled to score... and Michigan State just looked thoroughly mediocre.
Langborg went 2 for 12 from the floor and presumably wasn't 100% physically. Had he made a couple more shots, NU takes this game and knocks the Spartans out of the NCAA field.
Collins played Martinelli at the 5 for 15 1/2 minutes. We got outscored 22-19. Luke Hunger picked up 2 fouls in the first 2 minutes and sat on the bench the rest of the half.
Barnhizer and Martinelli both put in good efforts.
