With their 80-69 win against Ohio State, Michigan State Men’s Basketball earned a share of the Big Ten Regular Season Title which they share with Wisconsin and Maryland. They also secured the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament where they will await the winner between No. 10 Purdue or the still to be determined No. 7 seed team.
This is the third straight Big Ten Regular Season Championship for the Spartans, who, after a rocky start to the season, really found their groove in these last two weeks.
Cassius Winston led the way to the title with 27 points and 6 assists against Ohio State. Xavier Tillman added 15 points and held Ohio State standout Kaleb Wesson to just 8 points.
The Big Ten Tournament will start on Wednesday, March 11 and run through Sunday, March 15. Wisconsin is the top seed and Maryland is No. 3.
One interesting thing to keep in mind heading into the tournament is the possibility of a rematch against Purdue for the Spartans. MSU lost its only game of the season against the Boilermakers 71-42.
