The 2025 Big Ten Tournament semifinals are set.
No. 1-seed Michigan State began a day of quarterfinal action by showing why it was the conference's regular-season champion. It defeated No. 8 Oregon 74-64. Star freshman Jase Richardson led the Spartans with 17 points, while Jaden Akins and Jeremy Fears Jr. added 12 and 11, respectively. Tom Izzo's team continues to cement its position as a No. 2 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. It will face Wisconsin in the semifinals on Saturday.
That last sentence is due to the Badgers' decisive 86-70 quarterfinal win over UCLA.
