The Spartans (2-0) led 42-25 at halftime, but had the lead cut to single digits early in the second half and couldn't pull away because they made too many turnovers and gave up a lot of 3-pointers.

Michigan State made 19 turnovers and gave up 11 3-pointers.
The 10 p.m. EST tipoff allowed Roe, a theatre major, to have a unique night.

Malcolm Delaney, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading returning scorer, had 22 points for the Hokies (1-1). His basket gave Virginia Tech a 40-38 lead early in the second half, then Rodney McGruder's 10-foot jumper ignited the Wildcats' 28-9 run.

Kevin Winford led the Eagles (0-2) with 14 points.
The Eagles, who lost to Division II Seattle Pacific and Montana State-Billings in their exhibition games, didn't blink against the preseason favorites in the Pac-10.
