Men's basketball: Wolverines edge Spartans in intrastate battle
Two top-10 teams coming off losses played a game Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich., befitting their high ranking and their urgent need for a victory in the rough-and-tumble Big Ten.
The No. 4 Wolverines edged No. 9 Michigan State 58-57 in a contest that created more confusion near the top of the conference.
The deciding basket was scored by sophomore point guard Trey Burke, who stripped Michigan State (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) guard Keith Appling in the open court. He drove in for a dunk to put Michigan (24-5, 11-5) up 58-56 with 22 seconds remaining.
