64 percent to 38 percent in the second half.
Larry Anderson led Long Beach State with 20 points. T.J.
Robinson added 16 and Eugene Phelps had 18 rebounds.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Ashley Barlow scored 18 points and
hit a tiebreaking free throw with 10 seconds left, lifting No. 5
Notre Dame to a 68-67 victory over No. 21 Michigan State on
Thursday night.
The Spartans had a chance to win after Barlow's late foul shot
for the Fighting Irish (2-0), but Aisha Jefferson missed a jumper
with 4 seconds to go.
Allyssa DeHaan led Michigan State (1-2) with 20 points.
MSU trailed 45-35 when DeHaan limped off the court with an
apparent ankle injury early in the second half. The Spartans,
sparked by their defense and forcing turnovers, went on a 15-2 tear
immediately afterward to grab a 50-47 lead with 11:52 remaining.
DeHaan returned and increased Michigan State's lead to 56-51
with a basket with about 10 minutes to go. But the Irish regained
the lead with an 8-0 run capped by Erica Williamson's layup with
8:41 left.
