EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Led by Maurice Ager's 19 points, No. 10 Michigan State scored more than 100 points for the third straight game in a 102-52 win over Nicholls State on Saturday.<br>
<br>
Kelvin Torbert added 16 points, Shannon Brown and Alan Anderson had 15 apiece and Paul Davis had 11 for the Spartans (3-0). Michigan State will take a 103.3-point average into Tuesday's game at No. 9 Duke in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday.<br>
<br>
Michigan State had a 52-29 rebounding edge and used a 17-2 start and a 20-2 run near the end of the first half to lead 48-16 at the break. The Spartans led by at least 32 points at halftime for the third straight game.<br>
<br>
The only question in the second half was whether Michigan State would match its start in 1963-64, when it had more than 100 points against Northern Michigan, Western Michigan and Bowling Green State.<br>
<br>
Stefan Blaszczynski scored 15 points and Shawn King had 12 for the smaller Colonels (0-3), who won't dress anyone taller than 6-foot-6 after 6-9 post players Kieran Gleeson and Maurice Veal were declared academically ineligible.<br>
<br>
The game marked the 100th straight sellout in Breslin Center and Tom Izzo's 300th as Michigan State coach (210-90).
