East Lansing – It was Senior Day at Michigan State on Saturday, and the Spartans got plenty from their most experienced players.
But it might have been the performance from junior A.J. Hoggard that was the difference as Michigan State held off Ohio State for an 84-78 victory at the Breslin Center to close out the regular season with wins in three of the last four games as it now waits to see how the pairings shake out in next week’s Big Ten tournament.
Hoggard scored 23, handed out seven assists and committed just one turnover to lead Michigan State (19-11, 11-8 Big Ten) as five players scored in double figures.
