Spartans top Cavaliers

? Michigan State hit Virginia with a 17-0 run and a style the Cavaliers couldn’t deal with.

Chris Hill scored 22 points and Aloysius Anagonye added 10 points and nine rebounds, helping the 21st-ranked Spartans beat No. 22 Virginia 82-75 Wednesday night in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

The Spartans took control of the game with the 17-0 run — holding Virginia scoreless for more than six minutes — that made it 33-19 with 4:19 left in the half.

“I thought there were stretches where we played as hard as we have in a couple years,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “I didn’t realize we had a 17-0 run. That’s good. A lot of that came off our defense, and that makes it even more impressive. We didn’t do that last year.”

The Spartans (3-2) avoided their first three-game losing streak since the 1996-97 season, and their first losing record since 1995 when they started 1-2 in Izzo’s first season.

“It’s about Michigan State pride,” Anagonye said.
