EAST LANSING, Michigan (Ticker) -- Michigan State looks to extend its non-conference winning streak at home in its first ever matchup with Belmont on Tuesday.

The 25th-ranked Spartans have beaten 23 straight opponents outside of the Big Ten here. Their last loss was against Duke during the 2003-04 season.

Drew Neitzel scored 21 of his career-high 32 points in the second half and freshman Isaiah Dahlman added 11 as Michigan State posted a 69-61 victory over Chicago State on Saturday.

Marquise Gray had eight points and 11 rebounds for the Spartans, who have won four straight games.

The Bruins had their four-game winning streak ended after a 77-51 loss to Illinois on Sunday. Shane Dansby was the lone player in double figures with 13 points.

Belmont shot just 37 percent (20-of-54) and lost the rebounding battle, 39-21.
