Michigan State picked up a much-needed win over UCLA on Tuesday night to improve to 21-5 on the season and 11-4 in Big Ten play with just five regular-season games left.
That’s right, there are only two games left at the Breslin Center this season, and the Big Ten title is essentially out of play. It’s truly a bittersweet time of year. Michigan State needs to protect home-court advantage like it did against UCLA in order to be in the running for a 2/3-seed.
The Spartans still have work to do even after a 23-point win over UCLA, however.
