Nothing was easy for Michigan State basketball on Tuesday night as Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway. Good thing games are 40 minutes instead of 37, because Michigan State needed every last second to beat the Scarlet Knights, 88-79. The game did go to overtime, and there it was all Michigan State, but leading up to that point, the Scarlet Knights had Michigan State’s number, for the most part. Note: Players are ordered by minutes playedCarson Cooper — B+Are you as surprised to see that Carson Cooper led Michigan State in minutes (37) against Rutgers as I am? He wasn’t playing well in the first half, but when Michigan State needed him, he took over.
