EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Nick Ward had a fantastic game offensively and on the boards, scoring a season-high 24 points and matching his best performance with 10 rebounds in an attempt to make up for the loss of Mile Bridges in Michigan States 80-76 win over Oral Roberts on Saturday night.At the other end of the court, though, the freshman forward may have given up more points and rebounds than he had himself in the box score.When he got real tired, he couldnt guard anyone in the post, Spartans coach Tom Izzo said.The Spartans (5-4) played for the first time without Bridges, their leading scorer and rebounder, and missed him a lot. The standout freshman watched the game with a walking boot on his left foot, protecting a sprained ankle that will keep him out for at least a couple weeks.We can do this, said Ward, a reserve, who played a season-high 26 minutes. We have a bright future, but weve had a lot of injuries up front.The Golden Eagles (1-7) were very competitive in a game that included 13 lead changes and six ties. They led by as many as seven points in the first half and had some leads early in the second half.Kris Martin pulled them within two points with 20.8 seconds left with a four-point play, but couldnt get closer because Michigan State made two more free throws to seal the victory.You dont win championships in December, but that might be the best weve played, Oral Roberts guard Jalen Bradley said. We were OK against Baylor and Mississippi, too.BITS FROM BOX SCOREMichigan State freshman Cassius Winston, who came off the bench along with Ward, had a season-high 15 points and nine assists.I think Cassius Winston had his best game, Izzo said. Theres no other freshman that played very well.Eron Harris scored 14, but Izzo wasnt happy with him or any of his wings.Oral Roberts Emmanuel Nzekwesi had 21 points and 13 rebounds, Bradley scored 17, Martin had 16 points and Albert Owens added 15 points and eight rebounds. They helped their team bounce back from a 92-64 loss in suburban Detroit.Weve come a long way since Thursday night at Oakland, Golden Eagles coach Scott Sutton said. We were embarrassed.BIG PICTUREOral Roberts: The banged-up Golden Eagles, missing two starters due to injury, seem to be much better than their record indicates. When they get healthy, Sutton will have a talented and tough team to work with this season.Michigan State: Spartans coach Tom Izzo has wanted this team to get the ball inside more, and it has a good option inside with Ward without Bridges in the lineup. The 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward wants the ball in the post and he has skills to do something with it when teammates pass it to him.INJURY REPORTOral Roberts: Aaron Anderson, who hurt his knee in the third game, is close to returning. Hes probably a week away, Sutton said. Javan White, recovering from knee surgery, isnt expected back soon. Hes a ways away, Sutton said.Michigan State: Two seniors in the post, Gavin Schilling and Ben Carter, have been out all season because of knee injuries. Schilling might make it back at some point in the Big Ten season, but Carter likely wont be cleared to play for the Spartans after transferring from UNLV.UP NEXT:Oral Roberts: At Oklahoma on Wednesday, in its third road game in less than a week.Michigan State: Hosts Youngstown State on Tuesday, a game Izzo vowed him team would be ready for after challenging them during two or three practices on Sunday.If you think Im depressed, Im not, Izzo said.

As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. Gold Coast hope theyve done enough to convince Dion Prestia and Jaeger OMeara to stick around but coach Rodney Eade says the off-contract midfielders have given no hints as to their future.Prestia and OMeara wont play again this year due to injury and must decide whether they will accept contract offers from the Suns, or opt for a fresh start in the AFL next year.Both players have been heavily courted by interstate clubs and Eade admitted he had no sense of which way they might go.Theyre playing their cards pretty close to their chest at the moment, Eade said.Obviously those guys are going to make decisions on what they think is best for their future.We want them to stay and weve spoken to them about that. Hopefully they can see there is a very positive future.If we can have an even run at it with injuries, I think we can compete with the best sides in the competition.OMeara underwent clean-up surgery on his knee in Melbourne on Thursday and has noot played a senior game since 2014.ddddddddddddHe has been previously linked to Sydney while Richmond and Carlton reportedly lead the interest in Prestia.Gold Coasts other long-term midfield casualty, David Swallow, is set to make his first appearance of the year in a reserves game this weekend.Swallow, whose contract with the Suns runs to the end of 2017, is trying to overcome a knee issue that has kept him to just six AFL games in the past two seasons.Not that the Suns injury crisis is showing any sign of yielding - ruckman Tom Nicholls (knee) and on-baller Alex Sexton (corked thigh) will miss Saturdays clash against Essendon, with Keegan Brooksby and Aaron Hall to come in as replacements.It gets frustrating. Weve got 12 players with season-ending injuries and the reserves have seven to pick from this week, Eade said. ' ' '
