EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State matched a school record, getting plenty of help from an experienced star and a promising player just getting started.

Senior Drew Neitzel and freshman Kalin Lucas each scored 18 points to lead the 10th-ranked Spartans to a 77-62 win over Michigan yesterday.

The Spartans (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten) equaled the 20-game mark the 2000-01 team had en route to the program's third straight trip to the Final Four and fourth Big Ten title in a row.

"It's great, but that's not our goal," Neitzel said. "We want to hang a banner and win a couple of championships."

The Wolverines (5-15, 1-7) have their worst 20-game mark since they had the same record in 1981-82.

"It's tough for all of us, there's no denying that," first-year coach John Beilein said.

Michigan didn't have a double-digit scorer until there was 5:15 left and Manny Harris made two free throws and left the game with 11 points. Anthony Wright also scored 11, making a pair of 3-pointers that gave the Wolverines the lead midway through the first half during a brief competitive stretch of the game.

Harris and DeShawn Sims entered the game averaging 30 points together, but combined to shoot just 5 of 21. Sims made only one basket and scored just six points after scoring at least 10 in the previous 14 games.
