Lucas Helps No. 7 Michigan State Hold Off Oakland
Kalin Lucas scored 25 points to help No. 7 Michigan State hold off Oakland 77-76 Saturday.
Lucas made a 3-pointer and a jumper late in the game to prevent the Golden Grizzlies from getting closer than two points until Reggie Hamilton made a 3-pointer with 0.4 of a second left.
The Spartans (7-3) had dropped three of their last six games, to Connecticut, Duke and Syracuse. They're the only team in the Associated Press poll that has played a road game against a ranked team.
