Both Michigan State and Wisconsin missed some open shots out of the timeout, but the Spartans got the ball back and Miles Bridges found Jaren Jackson Jr. in the post, who has been sitting with foul trouble, and he finished a clutch and-one. Matt McQuaid took a pass in the corner, drove the baseline and nifty layup. Wisconsin responded with four consecutive points to cut the Spartans' seven-point lead to just three. Ethan Happ would get a free throw after the under-four timeout with a chance to pull within two. Happ made it, making it 58-56 Michigan State.
