PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Following Michigan State’s 43-point blowout win against Maryland last week, coach Tom Izzo called it one of this team’s best performances in years. The same can’t be said about the follow-up but the Spartans still survived.

Michigan had to really work for this one. The team that started the season blowing every team out of the water was the one trying to swim out of a rip current. After Michigan took a 3-2 lead in the first two minutes, Nebraska took control and were comfortably holding the lead.

Michigan held Nebraska to 1-of-13 from three in the second half and rallied late to beat the previously unbeaten Cornhuskers in Ann Arbor.

The number of people living in Michigan's population increased by roughly 28,000 residents or 0.3% between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025.

“Michigan is prepared to lead the future of maritime innovation while protecting the waters that define us,” Whitmer said. “The Michigan Maritime Strategy is a long-term plan for us to create good-paying local jobs and attract cutting-edge investments while protecting our Great Lakes, which contain 21% of the world’s fresh surface water.”
