Indianapolis — Entering the Big Ten tournament, Michigan State talked about playing a “new season.”
Free of the weight of a 3-7 close to the regular season, the Spartans are making the most of the fresh start, knocking off No. 2 Wisconsin, 69-63, on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to advance to Saturday’s semifinals against the Purdue-Penn State winner
Marcus Bingham matched a career high with 19 points while grabbing 11 rebounds to lead Michigan State (22-11) while Tyson Walker, who scored 11 points, hit back-to-back jumpers in the final two minutes while adding four late free throws to seal the Spartans’ victory.
