Final Score: Michigan State 53 - Purdue 44

West Lafayette, IN (Sports Network) - Raymar Morgan had 16 points and 11 rebounds as 14th-ranked Michigan State downed a short-handed No. 3 Purdue team, 53-44, at Mackey Arena.

Draymond Green scored 12 points and also pulled down 11 boards for the Spartans (22-7, 12-4 Big Ten), who have won three of four.

"We put ourselves back in the race to win the Big Ten title," Green said. "We also got some confidence back...That was a key for us."

E'Twaun Moore posted 12 points with four assists for the Boilermakers (24-4, 12-4), who were playing without forward Robbie Hummel, lost for the season with a torn ACL he suffered Wednesday.

Chris Kramer and JaJuan Johnson each added 11 points in the setback, which snapped Purdue's 10-game win streak.

"We still control our own destiny...We're still in a good position," Kramer said. "Everything we did wrong tonight is correctable."

Green hit a jumper with 1:20 left which gave Michigan State a 50-44 advantage, and after Moore missed his open three, Morgan responded with a jumper plus a free throw for a nine-point MSU edge.

A Keaton Grant turnover was matched in quick succession by a Spartans miscue in the final seconds, then a missed trey from Lewis Jackson closed out the contest.

An 8-2 run gave MSU a lead 22-16 with 5:34 left in the first half after a Green jumper, but Kramer's bucket with 2 1/2 minutes to go capped a 12-2 Purdue surge for a 28-24 contest. Morgan's jumper with 1:13 left brought the Spartans within two at the break.

Durrell Summers knocked down a three and the Spartans led 35-30 four minutes into the second half, then another trey from Summers upped the visitors' margin to 42-34.

Moore's basket with 3:24 to go got Purdue within 48-44, but it wasn't enough.
