Morgan's slump key to MSU skid
Just two and a half weeks ago, No. 19 Michigan State (20-5, 8-4 Big Ten) was rolling through foes with 19 wins in 21 games, and sophomore forward Raymar Morgan was a consistent threat for a double-double.
But the Spartans have fallen on tough times recently, losing three of their last four games -- all on the road.
One of the main reasons for the struggles is the inconsistency of Morgan, who's averaged 15.1 points per game and 6.5 rebounds a game. In those three recent losses, he scored only 26 points combined. In fact, Morgan has not scored more than 20 points since a win at Northwestern on Jan. 24.
