Louisville, Ky. – Even with Cassius Winston on the bench with five fouls and Matt McQuaid back in East Lansing with a deep thigh bruise, Michigan State nearly pulled off another comeback on Tuesday night against Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The Spartans trailed by a point when Winston fouled out with 4:01 to play but managed to regain the lead and had multiple chances to put the game away in the final minute. Instead, they missed the front end of a one-and-one twice and committed a crucial turnover, sending what looked like a huge road win to overtime.
