For the first time all season, Ohio State has lost back-to-back games.
It fell 92-87 to Michigan on Sunday, and it failed to rebound from the defeat on Thursday. The No. 4 Buckeyes fell, 71-67, to Michigan State in East Lansing, dropping to 18-6 overall and 12-6 within Big Ten play.
A quartet of free throws from Aaron Henry and Malik Hall put Michigan State up 64-63 with 2:32 remaining, and Henry's jumper put Michigan State up by three. Free throws from E.J. Liddell with 48 seconds left chopped the deficit to a single point. Joshua Langford's pull-up jumper gave the Spartans a three-point edge with 30 seconds left.
