Michigan State topples another top-five team, upsets No. 4 Ohio State 71-67

The furious push for a spot in the NCAA Tournament continues for Michigan State.

The Spartans used a remarkable close to the game to knock off No. 4 Ohio State, 71-67, at the Breslin Center on Thursday for their third straight victory and second in a row over a top-five team after beating Illinois on Tuesday. Michigan State now heads to Maryland on Sunday with a spot in the tournament now looking like a real possibility just a week after it looked like there was no chance.

Aaron Henry scored 18 to lead the Spartans (13-9, 7-9 Big Ten) while Gabe Brown added 11 points.
