Michigan State battles to beat Duke for first-ever win at Cameron Indoor Stadium

There were no fans there to see it live but he college basketball world saw the statement Michigan State made on Tuesday night. The Spartans outplayed the Blue Devils over the game’s final 30 minutes to earn a road victory, 75-69, at Cameron Indoor Stadium. No. 8 Michigan State, which entered the game with a 3-13 record against Duke in program history, recorded its first win at Cameron Indoor Stadium in four tries. The game served as a statement win for a Michigan State (3-0) team that through three games has proven it can continue at a high level after the departures of Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman. Junior Aaron Henry and sophomore Rocket Watts stepped into the lead roles for the Spartans on Tuesday, as both were active throughout the game and made plays down the stretch for a Michigan State team that proved more poised than a freshman-heavy Duke game. Watts, in the starting lineup for the first time this year, recorded a team-high 20 points, going 7-for-16 from the field as he drove through and around the Blue Devils defense. #MichiganStateSpartans #MoeDeesBasketball MoeDee's Basketball Social Media website: www.moedeesbasketball.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moedeesbasketball/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moedeesbasketball/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/moedeesbball?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClw1uO8WIvyjmtirDMrz2Zg?view_as=subscriber LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moedeesbasketball/
