#2 Michigan State survives a scare put into them by division 2 and host school of the Maui Invitational Chaminade, winning 82-74. Not only did the Silverswords hang with the Spartans they took a lead as large as 8 points in the first half. There were 4 ties and 8 lead changes in the first half of play and the Spartans looked like they forgot they had to beat Chaminade before they got to play Connecticut tomorrow. Chaminade came out hitting threes all over the court, shooting 53% from the field at the half and scoring 39 points on a normally stout Spartan defense which had just held South Carolina to 25 points in the first half of their last game. Michigan State took notice and came out in the 2nd half the way they should have started the game going on a 16-3 run to open up a double digit lead and they never looked back. While Chaminade never gave up in the game they just couldn't find away to get back into it and the Spartans sure weren't giving them any. Kalin Lucas lead the way for his team in the win scoring a career high 28 points and Draymond Green recorded another double-double this season, scoring 10 pts and grabbing 10 rebs. Coach Izzo will rally his troops and get them ready to take on Connecticut tomorrow in their semi-final match-up at 7 pm est.Goodnight from the greatest sports city in the world (wipes sweat from brow) that was to close, hats off to Chaminade see you at the big dance this year i hope.
