MSU leads OSU, 33-26, at halftime

It wasn't the prettiest half of basketball for Michigan State, especially down the stretch, but it leads Ohio State, 33-26, with 20 minutes to go.

The winner will meet either Maryland or Nebraska on Saturday afternoon.

Michigan State didn't make a field goal the final 3 minutes, 47 seconds of the half.

Denzel Valentine led Michigan State with 10 points, on 4-for-10 shooting. He also has five rebounds and three assists. Deyonta Davis has eight points, and is playing with a lot of energy.

JaQuan Lyle leads Ohio State with seven points -- and one broken water bottle.
