Brandon Wood had his second straight strong performance, contributing 20 points and six rebounds, as Michigan State ruled the boards 54-16 and matched the sixth-highest point total in school history.
Mitch Albers had 17 points for the Mavericks (3-6), whose busy weekend began with a win at Northern Illinois Saturday.
