Typical MSU path to a W. Behind at the half then back to even at the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half and stretch the final margin to double digits at the finish. Ward only played part of the first half and a minute or so in the 2nd half before sitting down for the duration. Ohio State just could not make anything in the second half, so reminiscent of Iowa's home game with MSU. McQuaid and Goins shoot well from 3 and that was the difference. Winston played well as usual. To beat MSU, if you are going to zone them, you better be able shoot better on your offensive end the entire game. Wards absence for a few games won't be too much of an impact.
