MSU runs away from New Orleans, 101-48
With New Orleans meeting No. 5 MSU for the first time in program history, the Privateers were looking to be the first-ever Southland Conference school to take down the Spartans. They did not come close to accomplishing the historic feat, as 12 Spartans scored en route to a 101-48 victory. Senior guard Keith Appling got the ball rolling early for MSU, as he scored seven of the Spartans’ first nine points.
