(2) Michigan State 93, Stony Brook 71 – Spartans coast
Second-ranked Michigan State bounced back from Tuesday’s loss to No. 1 Duke, but the Spartans also came away with an injury to their preseason All-American. Miles Bridges scored 20 points before limping off the court with a sprained left ankle in the second half of the Spartans’ 93-71 thrashing of Stony Brook. Nick Ward scored a season-high 22 points as Michigan State improved to 2-1. Langford had a career-high 19 points and Cassius Winston scored a season-high 13 points and had six assists for the Spartans.

S. Carolina 79, WMU 66 – Gamecocks top Broncos 79-66 for 5th in Puerto Rico Tip-Off
Wesley Myers and Chris Silva each scored 14 points, while South Carolina took control after halftime to beat Western Michigan 79-66 on Sunday for 5th place in the relocated Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Gamecocks (4-1) started slow and trailed 13-2 before leading 35-34 at the break. They took over by running off 14 unanswered points during a 17-1 run while holding Western Michigan (2-3) without a basket for nearly 8 1/2 minutes. That turned a one-point edge into a 57-40 margin on Kory Holden’s 3-pointer with 10:02 left, a margin that stayed in double figures the rest of the game for Martin’s 100th career win at South Carolina.

NCAA Basketball – Bridges limps off court late in game for No 2 Michigan State
Miles Bridges is day to day with a sprained left ankle for No. 2 Michigan State. Bridges was fouled with 8:32 left in a 93-71 win over Stony Brook on Sunday night as he was driving into the lane and landed awkwardly on his left foot and rolled his ankle. After trying to stay in the game to shoot free throws, he went back to the bench briefly before walking gingerly toward the locker room. Bridges received the most votes on The Associated Press preseason All-America team. The sophomore returned to school this season, turning down a chance to be a first-round pick in the NBA draft. He scored 20 points, matching his scoring average this season, against the Seawolves. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo isn’t sure how long Bridges will be out. The Spartans play DePaul on Thursday night in Oregon in the Phil Knight Invitational. "By Tuesday morning, I’ll know more,” Izzo said. ”Miles is tough enough to play through it but we’re not going to take any chances."
