DETROIT — Miles Bridges could not make a shot. Neither could Joshua Langford or Cassius Winston.
With every miss, Michigan State’s dream of a national championship came closer to crashing to a halt against Syracuse’s zone defense.
And then Winston’s last-gasp, half-court heave smacked off the glass, wide left.
Season over.
The 11-seed Orange stifled the 3-seed Spartans all afternoon Sunday at Little Caesars Arena, and Bridges’ quest for winning it all did not make it out of the second round of the NCAA tournament with a 55-53 defeat against Syracuse.
The Orange (23-13) advances to face No.
