Arizona Wildcats Basketball
#3 Arizona 74 #21 Michigan State 68
Arizona clamped down on Michigan State in the last four minutes of the game in Palm Springs, California, today and remained unbeaten with a 74-68 win over the Spartans. Caleb Love led the Wildcats with 17 points, including a steal and an assist on the game's final scoring play.
Still, it took the gritty play of Keshad Johnson, who came up with a key block in the final minute and finished with a double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds to go along with 13 points. Kylan Boswell finished with 12 points, while Oumar Ballo added 10 points, and Pelle Larsson, despite fouling out with four minutes left, ended up with 10 points.
Arizona led 40-30 at the half and had leads up to 15 points, but the Spartans battled back in the second half and took the lead 66-63 with four minutes remaining. However, they failed to score a field goal the rest of the way. Tyson Walker finished with 18 points for the Spartans.
The Wildcats improved to 6-0, while Michigan State fell to 3-3 with losses this season to Duke and now Arizona.
Way to go, Wildcats!
