EAST LANSING (AP) — Jaden Akins scored 18 points and Jaxon Kohler finished a rebound shy of tying a career high with 12 and Michigan State throttled Nebraska 89-52 on Saturday.

Michigan State (8-2, 2-0 Big Ten) reserves Jase Richardson scored 16 points and Xavier Booker scored 11 and the two combined to finish 9-for-13 shooting. Each played 15 minutes.

The Spartans shot 51.8% (29 of 56) and 95.7% (22 of 23) from the foul line.

Reserve Andrew Morgan scored 14 points and Brice Williams 11 in Nebraska’s (6-2, 0-1 Big Ten) conference opener.

The Spartans built a 7-0 lead before Nebraska scored seven straight to tie it. Nebraska rallied to get within 26-21 on Andrew Morgan’s jump shot with 6:01 left, but the Spartans countered with a Coen Carr dunk plus a 3-pointer and two free throws from Richardson and Michigan State led by double digits for the remainder.
