Tre Holloman scored a 20-point career summit, Jase Richardson had 18 points and N ° 8 of Michigan State beat Michigan n ° 17 on Sunday 79-62.
With 37.2 seconds to do, the rivals entered a brief melee. Michigan goalkeeper Phat Brooks pushed Holloman after Michigan’s state -of -the -art goalkeeper pushed Wolverines LJ Cason Cason Sunday in Midcourt du Breslin Center, where the elders kissed the Spartans logo in their last home game since Shawn Respert did in 1995.
Brooks and Cason were in Center short with 37.2 seconds to do after his teammate Justin Pippen made his first of the two free throws. Holloman approached the two Wolverine players, pushed the Capon’s chest with his right hand and Brooks responded with a two -handed push.
The officials, the Michigan coach, Dusty May and the assistants of the Michigan State, then separated the players responsible for emotion.
“Are we not allowed to stand in half of the field while they get free throws?” Asked May sarcastically. “They have gained the right to rub our noses. We have to play better. We have to become more difficult. We continue, and we have to compete for another championship (Big Ten Tournament) this week.”
Michigan State has resumed its tradition of kisses and continued to finish the scan of the season against Michigan.
During an post -match celebration, the Michigan State coach Tom Izzo invited Holloman – a junior – to embrace the school logo on the ground.
“No shame in your tradition,” Izzo told the roaring crowd.
“It’s a tradition here that is very important,” Izzo told journalists thereafter. “This is what rivalries are. If everyone kisses and kisses, it is probably not a rivalry.”
The Spartans (26-5, 17-3 Big Ten) closed the regular season with seven consecutive victories, including five against the top 25 AP teams.
Michigan State won the first Big Ten basketball title with 18 teams by three games on Wolverines and Maryland n ° 13.
Izzo, a renowned temple coach, won 11 Big Ten titles, equaling the Lambert district of the Purdue district in 1990 and Bob Knight of Indiana equaled in 1993.
The Wolverines (22-9, 14-6) lost a top of three consecutive games.
The Vladislav Goldin of Michigan had 29 points and Danny Wolf did not help offensively until it is too late, marking 15 of its 18 points in the second period.
Take -out
Michigan: May’s beginnings were better than expected, but Wolverines play their worst season’s worst basketball at the wrong time.
Michigan State: The 30th Izzo team had to be average in Big Ten and exceeded expectations.
Key
Richardson made a 3-point with 8:56 to play, ending Michigan’s 14-0 race to put Michigan State at 14.
Key statistics
The Spartans transformed the game on a rout during the first half, converting the 11 reversals of Michigan to 18 points to lead 50-28.
The next
