(AP) — Here we go again for Michigan State. Make it to the NCAA tournament, prepare for any possibility in the first two games, and then focus on the next stop. It's a March tradition for Tom Izzo and the Spartans. Gary Harris scored 16 of his career-high 23 points in the first half and third-seeded Michigan State pulled away for a 70-...

(AP) — Derrick Nix got a pass down low, backed up his beefy body to put an opponent on his back and scored. For much of Michigan State's NCAA tournament-opening win, it was as easy as giving Nix the ball and getting out of his way. Nix had 23 points and a career-high 15 rebounds to help power the third-seeded Spartans past 14th-seeded ...

Even though he had seen it before, Thad Matta struggled for a moment to find the right words to describe his point guard. Once he did, he couldn't stop himself. Seems appropriate, considering Michigan State couldn't stop him when i...

Appling scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half to help the Spartans beat No. 22 Wisconsin 58-43 on Thursday night and stay in the race for a piece of the conference championship.

(AP) — It was exactly the type of game that John Beilein's Michigan team had seemed incapable of winning. The Wolverines missed every 3-pointer they took and were stuck in a bruising struggle against a physical Michigan State team. Then, in the final minute, Trey Burke made perhaps Michigan's biggest play of the season — on defense. ...

(AP) — A 10-point lead had slipped away in the final minutes, and it looked like the best Trey Burke and Michigan could hope for was another chance in overtime. Then the star point guard decided to gamble, reaching in and knocking the ball away from Michigan State's Keith Appling with the game on the line. "I take my eyes off it for a sec...

Tuesday night's game marks the first time two top-five teams have met at the Breslin Center. ...
