"It was 17-16 and we took some bad shots, couple turnovers, they got to get out and run and we melted down...," Collins said.
Nicholson got called for his 2nd foul on a missed MSU shot that would normally be a jump ball (he and Carson Cooper grabbed it but Cooper ripped it away and the ball went out of bounds) Cooper made both free throws, Nicholson went to the bench. It was 19-16 with 10:35 to go in the first half.
Jalen Leach committed an offensive foul with 9:42 to go, Cats down 21-16. He also went to the bench with 2 fouls.
Leach returned with MSU up 28-16 at the 8:00 mark after 2 Mullins turnovers.
Nicholson returned at the 5:03 mark with MSU ahead 36-19.

All painfully true. It was 13-8 NU about 6 minutes in when MSU hit two straight 3s and were off. Next thing I know it’s 43-21 and we are Melba toast.
Hot scoring for 6 minutes, getting a bucket, and not scoring for 3 more minutes will do that to you.
