Michigan State vs. UCLA in Big Ten tournament: How to watch

 

Tom Izzo hates playing his friends, but he’ll have to put that aside on Friday.

No. 3 seeded Michigan State (25-6) will play No. 6 seed UCLA (22-10) in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals at 9 p.m. Friday at the United Center in Chicago. The game is on the Big Ten Network.

Michigan State beat UCLA 82-59 in the lone regular season meeting between the teams Feb. 17 in East Lansing. The Spartans hit a season-high 14 3-pointers on the Bruins in a blowout, though the game is best remembered for Mick Cronin ejecting his own player, Steven Jamerson II, after a hard foul on Carson Cooper late in the game.




The Spartans won their opening game in the Big Ten tournament in three of the past four seasons, the anomaly being a quarterfinal loss to Ohio State in Chicago in 2023.

Michigan State owns an all-time Big Ten tournament record of 36-21 and a quarterfinal record of 17-10 since the first Big Ten tournament in 1998. Michigan State won 10 out of 12 quarterfinal appearances from 2008 to 2019, winning four of its six Big Ten tournaments in that span (2012, 2014, 2016, 2019).

In 11 Big Ten tournament appearances in Chicago, Michigan State is 14-8 all time with three championship wins in 1999, 2000 and most recently in 2019. Michigan State is 5-3 all time as a No. 3 seed, with a championship win in 2014.See more.

How Vinicius Jr became Real Madrid’s man for the Champions League knockout rounds

“He is the most decisive player in the world.” That was Carlo Ancelotti’s verdict on Vinicius Junior in February 2023 after he dismantled Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League round of 16. With Real Madrid 2-0 down inside 14 minutes, Vinicius Jr curled home from the left side of the box before unwittingly deflecting a poor Alisson clearance into the net to claw them level by half-time. The Brazil international added an assist midway through the second half, measuring his run before setting up Karim Benzema on the break to give Madrid a 5-2 win. A player who has faced adversity throughout his career, it is no surprise that Vinicius Jr has often thrived under the bright European midweek lights in the second half of the season.

Instant Takeaways From Nuggets' Brutal OT Loss to Lakers

 Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic hit a game-winner to sink the Denver Nuggets in overtime. Mar 14, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77) controls the ball while under pressure from Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (0) during the first half at Crypto.com Arena. William Liang-Imagn Images Another crushing loss for the Denver Nuggets. After the Los Angeles Lakers took as much as a 17-point lead, the Nuggets stormed back to force overtime. However, after an ugly overtime period with plenty of missed shots, Lakers superstar Luka Doncic took matters into his own hands. In a tie game, Doncic knocked down the game-winning mid-range shot with just 0.5 seconds remaining. It was malpractice to leave Spencer Jones on an island with Doncic with the game on the line, as the six-time All-Star will win that battle nine times out of ten. Here are a few instant takeaways from Denver's crushing loss on Saturday night:         ...

Bam Adebayo 83 Points — Fans Call NBA a Joke; Could Wizards Face Investigation for Tanking?

Miami Heat centre Bam Adebayo scored 83 points, the second‑highest total in NBA history, in a 150‑129 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, igniting intense discussion about the nature of the performance and the Wizards' defensive approach. Adebayo's 83‑point effort overtook Kobe Bryant's 81‑point game from 2006, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain's 100‑point masterpiece in 1962. His stat line included 20 of 43 from the field, 7 of 22 from three‑point range and an astounding 36 of 43 at the free‑throw line, breaking single‑game NBA records for both free throws made and attempted. The performance marked a career‑night for Adebayo, who entered Tuesday averaging under five free throw attempts per game before erupting for a historic scoring output.                                                          ...
