In the second quarter, MSU used a 6-0 run to take a 37-28 advantage at the midway point of the period. The run jumped to 8-0 after a pair of Ayrault free throws. The MSU defense was able to keep the Blue Demons off the scoreboard for over five minutes before a Peoples layup. Michigan State held DePaul to only eight points in the period to lead 46-32 at the half.
Michigan State scored the first seven points of the second half, leading to an early Blue Demon timeout, as the Spartans took a 20-point advantage at 53-32.
