MSU basketball rolls in season-opener, dominates Quinnipiac for blowout win

The Spartans looked impressive from essentially the opening tip on Monday, starting the season with a 96-59 victory over Quinnipiac. Michigan State led by double-digits for the better part of the game, with their lead never dipping below 20 points in the second half. Michigan State put this game away early thanks to strong play on both ends of the floor. After a slow start, Michigan State would outscore Quinnipiac 42 to 18 across the final 15 minutes of the opening frame. That impressive run led to the Spartans holding a 52-24 advantage at the break.
