Michigan State overcome rash of miscues, outduels Wisconsin for 69-65 win

MADISON, Wis. — Michigan State was on track to walk out of Wisconsin frustrated on Tuesday night, a winnable game given away by a rash of turnovers and defensive miscues.

But the Spartans have been in their share of dicey situations, and when Joey Hauser hit a late 3-pointer and A.J. Hoggard scored on the block and made a pair of free throws in the final minute, it helped secure a 69-65 victory over No. 18 Wisconsin at the Kohl Center, the seventh straight victory for Michigan State and the fourth in the last five trips to Wisconsin.

Hauser scored 20 to lead Michigan State (12-4, 4-1 Big Ten) while Hoggard had 10 points and eight assists. Tyson Walker scored 13, including a pair of free throws in the final seconds to help secure the victory. Jaden Akins added 12 points for the Spartans.
