Spartans overcome rash of miscues, outduels Wisconsin for 69-65 win

Madison, Wis. – Michigan State was on track to walk out of Wisconsin frustrated on Tuesday night, a winnable game given away by a rash of turnovers and defensive miscues.

But the Spartans have been in their share of dicey situations, and when Joey Hauser hit a late 3-pointer and A.J. Hoggard scored on the block and made a pair of free throws in the final minute, it helped secure a 69-65 victory over No. 18 Wisconsin at the Kohl Center, the seventh straight victory for Michigan State and the fourth in the last five trips to Wisconsin.
