This was an initiation, a painful rite of passage for an underage Spartans squad into a no-holds-barred rivalry.
The offense landed Ward in Tom Izzo's doghouse for the final 3:49 of the first half, during which time the Wolverines extended their lead from 16 points to 26.
For all of Nick Ward's offensive skill, one might expect the freshman center to receive more playing time.

Bridges channeled his inner Vince Carter with this dunk.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says he will assist freshman Deyonta Davis as he considers entering the NBA draft.
