MSU also scored 107 points in a win over Houston Baptist on Dec. 18, followed that up with 10 points in a win over Long Beach State on Dec. 1 and then scored 111 points in a win over Cleveland State... It was the fi rst time MSU had scored at least 100 points in four-straight games in program history...

Margins of Victory Michigan State s 18-point margin of victory over then-no. 9 North Carolina (63-45) was its largest over a ranked opponent since Jan. 11, 017 (65-47 vs. No. 4 Minnesota) and its largest over a top-10 team since Feb. 1, 013 (75-5 vs. No. 4 Michigan)... In holding North Carolina to 45 points, it was the fewest points the Spartans had allowed to a ranked opponent since March 7, 013 (No. Wisconsin, 43) and the fewest to a top-10 opponent since Feb. 8, 010 (No. 3 Purdue, 44). Jaren Jackson Jr. Dazzles in Debut Jaren Jackson Jr. became the fourth Spartan freshman to post a double-double in his debut, tallying 13 points and a game-high 13 rebounds... Deyonta Davis, Derrick Nix and Matt Steigenga are the other three to post a double-double in their freshman debut... Jackson Jr s game-high 13 rebounds are the secondmost ever by a Spartan freshman in his debut, fi nishing one shy of Nix s record 14 (11/13/009)... He is also just the fi fth Spartan freshman to grab double fi gure rebounds in his debut... Jackson Jr. s 13 points match the seventh-best debut by a freshman. MSU/Georgia in Hurricane Relief Exhibition When Michigan State beat Georgia on Oct. 9 at Van Andel Arena, the score of the game did not mean as much to those involved... Sure, beating the Bulldogs, 80-68, mattered, and getting tested against a strong team from a good conference were benefi ts of the game... But with the charity exhibition game helping to raise awareness and fi nancial support for hurricane relief efforts, specifi cally those in Georgia and in the Bahamas, the home of Spartans senior guard Lourawls Tum Tum Nairn Jr., the game took on greater meaning... Prior to the game, MSU Head Coach Tom Izzo and Georgia Head Coach Mark Fox presented a check for more than $339,000 that will benefi t the American Red Cross International Services and American Red Cross Georgia Region. Nairn, Bridges Selected MSU Captains for Senior guard Lourawls Tum Tum Nairn Jr. and sophomore guard/forward Miles Bridges were selected captains for the season... Nairn Jr., who Izzo says might end up the best leader we ve ever had, is a captain for the third time in his career. Defense Wins Championships One of the staples of Michigan State s win in the PK80 Invitational Victory Bracket was the team s defensive performance, limiting all three opponents to less than 40 percent shooting from the field in each game... In the championship game win over North Carolina, MSU held the Tar Heels to 4.6 percent shooting from the field, the lowest in program history for UNC... The 45 points scored by the Tar Heels were the second-lowest output by a Roy Williams-coached team at UNC... Overall in the PK80 Invitational, MSU s three
