Michigan State basketball falls to Purdue in Big Ten Tournament semifinals

Michigan State basketball’s run in the Big Ten Tournament came to an end on Saturday

Michigan State basketball’s run in the Big Ten Tournament came to an end on Saturday.

The Spartans fell to Purdue in Saturday’s Big Ten Tournament semifinals matchup, 75-70. Michigan State trailed for most of the game, but never stopped fighting with the Boilermakers finishing off the Spartans in the final minutes.

Michigan State trailed 27-20 at halftime after a poor shooting effort in the opening frame. It appeared the Spartans were feeling the effects of three games in three days, which resulted in the offensive struggles. Additionally, Michigan State lost Tyson Walker to an ankle injury in the first few minutes that led to him missing the remainder of the game.

The second half didn’t start off great for Michigan State either, who fell behind by as many as 13 points in the half. However, the Spartans were able to battle back and cut Purdue’s lead to just one point with 5:45 to go in the game. From there, the Boilermakers took over with a 9-0 run to build a comfortable lead they’d never surrender.

Michigan State was led offensively by AJ Hoggard , with 17 points and 10 assists. Gabe Brown also had a strong offensive outing with 16 points.

With a pair of wins in the Big Ten Tournament, Michigan State is a lock to be heading to the NCAA Tournament next weekend. The Spartans will find out their seeding and first round matchup on Sunday.

Michigan State basketball upsets No. 4 Purdue on last second three from Tyson Walker

That was a massive win for Michigan State!

Michigan State basketball may have just clinched a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

The Spartans upset Purdue in an extremely exciting battle that concluded with a game-winning three-pointer from Tyson Walker. The game was tied at 65-65 with Michigan State holding for the final shot — which Walker drained with 1.1 seconds left to power the Spartans to the massive win.

Michigan State had been struggling as of late, dropping three straight and five of their past six. However, Saturday’s upset win over the highly ranked Boilermakers should lock up a bid in the NCAA Tournament.

The Spartans came out firing early on, and led for most of the game. Michigan State carried a 35-33 lead into halftime, and built up an 11-point lead in the second half. Purdue never went away though, and was able to get the game tied up in the final minute of the game. From there, Walker came through to lead Michigan State to the win.

Michigan State was led offensively by four Spartans in double figures of scoring — Gabe Brown (13 points), Julius Marble (12 points), Max Christie (11 points) and AJ Hoggard (11 points). Walker finished with eight points.

The win over Purdue moves Michigan State to 19-9 on the season and 10-7 in conference play. This is a signature win, and arguably the Spartans best victory of the season.

Michigan State will wrap up the regular season next week, with three more games left on the slate. First up is a road trip to rival Michigan on Tuesday. Tipoff from the Crisler Center is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on Fox Sports 1.
