Michigan State defeated Buffalo Friday night, ending the Spartans’ non-conference schedule for the 2022-23 season. The Spartans defeated the Bulls 89-68 in a game they handled from start to finish.
Remarkably, Michigan State brought Malik Hall back into the lineup and it showed. The Spartans looked back to their early season form just in time for the true start of Big Ten conference play.

Tom Izzo said Malik Hall is fine. Knocking him out midway through the second half and keeping him away was based on a minute limit. Says he could have put it back in if need be. https://t.co/CZdOfesZND
