EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State made its opener look like an exhibition.

Chris Allen scored a career-high 21, leading the sixth-ranked Spartans to a 100-62 win over Idaho today.

Michigan State's Raymar Morgan also scored 21 points, Kalin Lucas had 13 points and nine assists and Goran Suton added 10 points.

Mac Hopson had 13 points and Brandon Wiley scored 10 for the Vandals (1-1).

Michigan State ran away with the game and didn't let up, just as it did in outscoring Northern Michigan and Lake Superior State 230-126.

Allen's second 3-pointer put the Spartans ahead 12-1 and they led 25-4 en route to a 54-29 lead at halftime.

After Idaho got within 19 points, Michigan State went on a 22-2 run to take an 83-44 lead.
