Michigan State men’s basketball survives versus Minnesota, remains undefeated in Big Ten play

Following Saturday’s postponement against the Michigan Wolverines, the Michigan State Spartans men’s basketball program was back in action on Wednesday night in the Breslin Center against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. MSU walked away with a dramatic 71-69 victory, thanks to a buzzer-beating layup by forward Joey Hauser.

The Spartans scored the first five points of the game off of a two-point bucket by center Marcus Bingham Jr. and a three-pointer by point guard Tyson Walker. At the first media timeout of the game with under 16 minutes to play, MSU led 7-4.

Once play picked back up, Minnesota guard Payton Willis drilled a three-pointer to tie the game.
