The Trojans are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 77 points per game this season.

The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in offensive rebounds (four). Another player making a difference was Saint Thomas, who had 13 points along with eight rebounds and six assists.

Meanwhile, Michigan State came tearing into Tuesday's contest with 12 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 14.8 points) and they left with even more momentum.

Among those leading the charge was Carson Cooper, who almost dropped a double-double on nine points and 11 rebounds. He had some trouble finding his footing against Rutgers on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction.
