Northwestern jumped out to a 12-4 lead during the first six minutes. Michigan State came back and took a 19-15 lead with 8:30 left in the half, but the miscues continued to pile up.
Audige made a 3-pointer after a Spartans turnover to put Northwestern back on top, 21-19. Michigan State briefly regained the lead on two Marble free throws with 2:37 left, but the Wildcats finished the half on a 7-1 run that included a Buie 3-pointer.

The Wildcats then went scoreless for over five minutes during a Spartans 11-0 run, which included two baskets by Marble.
