Bridges hurt during No. 2 Spartans’ win

-

Preseason All-American Miles Bridges scored 20 points before limping off the court after injuring his left ankle, casting a pall over No. 2 Michigan State as it beat Stony Brook 93-71 Sunday night in East Lansing, Mich.

Nick Ward scored a season-high 22 points, Joshua Langford had a career-high 19 points and Cassius Winston scored a season-high 13 points and had six assists for the Spartans (2-1), who bounced back from a loss to top-ranked Duke.

Bridges was fouled with 8:32 left as he was driving into the lane and landed awkwardly on his left foot and rolled his ankle. After trying to stay in the game to shoot free throws, he went back to the bench briefly before walking gingerly toward the locker room.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo isn’t sure how long Bridges will be out. The Spartans play DePaul Thursday night in Oregon in the Phil Knight Invitation­al.

Elijah Olaniyi scored 16 points for the Seawolves (0-4).

(At) No. 8 Florida 70, New Hampshire 63: Jaleen Hudson came off the bench to score 26 points, Egor Kulechov added 14 points and 10 rebounds, and the Gators (3-0) held off the feisty Wildcats (1-2), who got 23 points from Tanner Leissner.

Scottie Lindsay had 20 points for the Wildcats, who suffered the most lopsided loss in head coach Chris Collins’ five years at Northweste­rn.
