EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Draymond Green had 15 points to lead a balanced attack, and No. 2 Michigan State kept up its home court mastery with a 75-62 win over Toledo on Friday night.

The game was a regional matchup in the Legends Classic. The Spartans (3-0) host Valparaiso on Sunday before heading to Atlantic City, N.J., for a Nov. 27 date with Florida in the semifinals.

The Spartans won their 42nd straight game at home against a non-conference opponent, extending a streak that started after a loss to Duke on Dec. 3, 2003.

Stephen Albrecht scored 20 points for Toledo (0-3), which trailed by as many as 20 in the second half.

Tom Izzo, in his 15th season at Michigan State, moved within one of tying his mentor Jud Heathcote for the most wins in school history. Izzo has 339.

Izzo's teams are 37-0 at home in November.
