Tristan Thompson added 17 points and a game-high 15 rebounds for the Longhorns (10-2).
Texas led virtually the entire way. It opened up a 28-19 lead late in the first half before the Spartans rallied to cut the deficit to 31-30 at the half.
In the second half, Texas built a 15-point lead capped by a 3-pointer by Cory Joseph with 13 minutes to play. Michigan State never got closer than nine points the rest of the way.
