INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Big Ten player of the year Denzel Valentine scored 19 points and Eron Harris added 13 to help No. 2 Michigan State blow out Ohio State 81-54 in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on Friday night.
The Spartans (27-5) have won 11 of 12 and will face either Nebraska or No. 18 Maryland in Saturday's semifinal.
JaQuan Lyle had 10 points to lead the Buckeyes (20-13), who have lost three of five and must wait until Sunday to see if they'll get in the NCAA Tournament. Ohio State thought one more impressive win could be enough.
