Michigan State basketball let another second half lead slip away on Saturday in yet another disappointing loss.
Rutgers overcame an eight-point deficit in the second half to beat Michigan State, 61-55, on Saturday from Madison Square Garden. The Spartans led throughout most of the game but were dominated in the final six minutes to give up a great opportunity to boost their NCAA Tournament resume.
With the loss, Michigan State has dropped five of their last seven games and haven’t won consecutive games since their seven-game winning streak was snapped in early January. Throughout this stretch, the Spartans’ NCAA Tournament stock has declined as well.
Here are some of the best photos from the Spartans’ disappointing loss on Saturday:
