The Breslin Center was rocking on Sunday, March 9. In a perfect storm of circumstances, Michigan State sent a Big Ten regular season banner into the rafters, honored its senior class and defeated archrival Michigan.

Vlad Goldin scored 29 while Danny Wolf added 18 points and 13 rebounds for Michigan basketball, but all other Wolverines combined for just 15 points.

Michigan State heads into the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis as the first seed, where it will play the winner of Oregon and Indiana in a noon game Friday (BTN). A third straight loss for Michigan drops it to a third-place finish in the conference, where it will play either Wisconsin, Minnesota or Northwestern later in Friday's slate.

Michigan State is the No. 1 seed in next week’s Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis and will face the winner between No. 8 seed Oregon and No. 9 Indiana in a Friday quarterfinal. Michigan also has a double bye but dropped to the No. 3 seed with the loss.

In the final game of the regular season on Sunday, Michigan State's bench outscored Michigan 32 to 5 in a fitting end to the regular season for a team that's motto has been 'strength in numbers' all season.

Tre Holloman scored a career-high 20 points, Jase Richardson had 18 and No. 8 Michigan State beat No. 17 Michigan, 79-62.

No. 8 Michigan State will be looking for a season sweep of rival No. 17 Michigan on Sunday when they meet to conclude the regular season on CBS. The Spartans (25-5, 16-3 Big Ten) have already secured the outright Big Ten title and will be looking to send their seniors out on a high note during their final game at the Breslin Center.
