Paul Davis leads Spartans to victory over IPFW
Michigan State improved to 3-2 on the 2005-06 season after beating IPFW 84-73 in their home opener. Senior Paul Davis scored 30 points while thoroughly dominating the paint for MSU. Maurice Ager contributed 20 points after a slow start, and Shannon Brown had 12.
The Mastodons (1-3) scored the first eight points before Davis took over and scored 14 points in the opening 16 minutes. Ager dominated the second half with 16 points in 16 minutes, when the Spartans shot 61.5% and scored 48 points.
“Paul is like any other Michigan State player,” Fife said. “He has improved every year. And Michigan State is unique in that sense. Paul is thick, mobile and tough-minded.”
The Spartans next game is Wednesday night against Georgia Tech, part of the Big Ten/ACC challenge.
