Michigan State tops Ohio State 77-72 in Big Ten Tournament
(CHICAGO) - No. 6 Michigan State has its sights set on a sixth Big Ten Tournament championship and a deep NCAA run. The Spartans are off to a good start. Cassius Winston scored 18 points, Foster Loyer provided a lift off the bench with a career-high 14 points, and Michigan State gave Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo his 600th career win, a 77-70 victory over Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on Friday. The Spartans (26-6) pulled away in the second half for their third win over the Buckeyes (19-14) this season and will meet No. 19 Wisconsin, in the semifinals on Saturday. With a 600-231 record, seven Final Fours and an NCAA championship, Izzo has accomplished quite a bit in 24 seasons. Winston, the Big Ten Player of the Year, had seven rebounds and five assists. Loyer nailed 4 of 5 3-pointers in 18 minutes after making just 4 of 20 during the regular season. The Buckeyes lost for the fifth time in seven games, though coach Chris Holtmann expects an NCAA invitation. Keyshawn Woods scored 16 points for Ohio State, and Andre Wessson had 14. But his brother Kaleb Wesson fouled out with seven points and three rebounds midway through the second half.
