March 14, 2026: Michigan State opened its Big Ten Tournament run with a quarterfinal game against 6 seed UCLA and lost 88-84 behind some pretty poor defense and blistering hot shooting from the Bruins. Donovan Dent followed up his triple double performance the other night with another fantastic game scoring 23 points and adding 12 assists and 4 steals.
Once again, the Spartans had some spotty perimeter defense and allowed Dent and other Bruins penetration into the paint to score or dish to wide open deep shooters. It’s a vulnerability MSU has had since the departure of Divine Ugochukwu and only time will tell if it will be their ultimate undoing sometime in the NCAA Tournament. On the bright side for Michigan State is that they emerged from the Big Ten Tournament healthy and rested and await a first round game probably as a 2 seed on Thursday or Friday.
