Michigan State Spartans vs Kentucky Wildcats — November 18, 2025
83–66
About This Game
Michigan State came to Madison Square Garden and put on a shooting clinic, shattering season-long struggles from beyond the arc with an explosive 11 three-pointers that set the tone for an 83-66 victory over Kentucky. The Spartans' sharpshooting—a dramatic turnaround from their league-worst 21.7% clip entering the game—was complemented by relentless interior dominance, where they outrebounded the Wildcats 44-30 and converted second chances into points. Jaxon Kohler led the way with a team-high 20 points, with contributions from Kur Teng (15) and Trey Fort (13), as Michigan State built a double-digit cushion by halftime and never looked back. Kentucky mounted little resistance, struggling to find rhythm from the field in the first half and never recovering, despite strong free-throw shooting. The Wildcats' 13 made baskets proved insufficient against the Spartans' balanced offensive assault. This game showcased Michigan State at its most complete—efficient shooting paired with the kind of grinding inside work that defines Tom Izzo basketball. Relive every possession of this dominant performance on a custom Gameprint, where the entire flow of the game comes alive on your wall.
