The Spartans are heading back to the Sweet 16.
Michigan State used a second straight stifling defensive effort to upset No. 2 seed Marquette, 69-60, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in the Columbus, Ohio. The Spartans led throughout most of the game, but ended the game on a 14-to-5 run to end the game and advance to the program’s first Sweet 16 since 2019.
