Michigan State Basketball: 3 takeaways from dominant win over Western Michigan

2. Joey Hauser is hitting his stride

Joey Hauser finished the night will his fifth double-double as a Spartan. He had 12 points to go along with 12 rebounds. He was ball hawk and was crashing the boards.

Hauser is finding his scoring ability and gaining confidence with every minute he is out on the floor. He struggled to find himself last year, thinking he would just come in and be this great scorer and that did not happen; he lost his confidence and his shots would not fall.

This season, however, he is taking the shots that come to him and getting open for easy looks. It wont be long before Hasuer is averaging 15-17 points per game and with the ball screen action we saw against Western Michigan he will see many more open looks.
