East Lansing — Michigan State exacted a bit of revenge on Sunday afternoon, and in the process might have locked up a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Behind a huge effort from Rocket Watts and more big moments late in the game from Aaron Henry, Michigan State knocked off No. 2 Michigan, 70-64, at the Breslin Center to close the regular season three days after the Wolverines clinched the Big Ten title in Ann Arbor by beating the Spartans.
Watts scored 21 and Henry added 18 points, with 13 coming in the second half to lead Michigan State (15-11, 9-11 Big Ten).
