On Friday, Michigan State dominated Detroit Mercy, earning a 28-point victory. At the tail end of the convincing win, the Spartans were able to get their walk-ons in the game.

Sanders drilled a three-point bucket, and the crowd erupted as if Coen Carr threw down one of his patented slams. It was truly a moment to see.
Watch the moment via X:
Sanders had 11 points in his career coming into the game and had made one three point basket.
