Michigan State entered Sunday's regular season finale in unfamiliar territory — squarely on the NCAA tournament bubble.
It left in much better shape — with a win No. 2 Michigan and a likely at-large bid to the NCAA tournament secured.
Facing the Wolverines for the second of a back-to-back set against their rivals, the Spartans held a 61-59 lead with less than a minute remaining in Sunday's game. With the game in the balance, Aaron Henry found Joshua Langford on the wing in a halfcourt set. The senior guard didn't hesitate.
