EAST LANSING, Mich. --
Kalin Lucas has practically lived in a gym at Michigan State recently, and he's found a home as a sensational scorer.
The lighting-quick guard continued his offensive surge, scoring 22 points to lead the Spartans (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) to a 75-62 win over the defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday.
"Morning, noon and night, I've been coming in to get a lot of shots up," Lucas said. "I've just been shooting, shooting and shooting even before and after practice."
Spartans coach Tom Izzo is pleased the hard work has paid off.
"It's always fun when guys put something into it and get something out of it," Izzo said. "If he continues to grow, he's going to put himself in a good position and us, too."
