Spartans Keep Tourney Hopes Alive
The Michigan State Spartans haven’t folded the tent just yet. They raced past Iowa, 85 - 66, and head into a gigantic finale at Michigan with a tenuous grip on the program's 14th consecutive Tournament appearance. The Spartans will have to scrap for this, because they're not comfortably in yet. They're 17-12, 9-8 in the Big Ten, and if they beat their rivals, they're probably set. If they lose in Ann Arbor, they'd better not lose in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.
