The Spartans defeated the Ducks 74-70 to set up a matchup against Portland Sunday at either 3:00 or 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

Joey Hauser and Tyson Walker both posted huge performances for Michigan State, leading the team with 18 points apiece. Hauser notched a double-double with 10 rebounds to pace the team while Walker led in assists with eight.
