It extended the Spartans’ lead to 17-10 going into Eastern Michigan’s next possession.
It was his first basket since Dec. 29, 2018, according to the Spartans official Twitter account for basketball:

He currently is up to double figures and counting in points as the Spartans are up double digits over the Eagles.
Langford is back in the starting lineup to start 2020 after a couple of rocky years battling injuries. So far, Langford is moving well and not showing any hesitations in attacking the basket which is hopefully a good sign of what’s in store for the season.
Michigan State’s next game will come against Notre Dame this Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET. That game can be seen on the Big Ten Network. After that, they will play in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and they’ll draw No. 9 Duke.
