No. 3 seed Michigan State advanced to its third Sweet 16 in the last four seasons with a 77–69 win over No. 6 seed Louisville on Saturday. The Spartans await the winner of Sunday’s No. 2 UConn vs. No. 7 UCLA tilt in the Sweet 16 next weekend.
Michigan State rode a record-breaking performance by star point guard Jeremy Fears Jr., who set a school record for most assists in a tournament game with 16, and the stellar play of Coen Carr who scored 21 points and grabbed 10 boards to the victory.
