COLLEGE ROUNDUP
Men
No. 4 MICHIGAN 58, No. 9 MICH. STATE 57: In Ann Arbor, Mich., Trey Burke stole the ball from Keith Appling near midcourt and went in alone for a dunk with 22 seconds remaining, then made another steal in the final seconds to lead the Wolverines (24-5, 11-5 Big Ten) over the Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten).
The Spartans had the ball with the shot clock off at 56-56, but Burke’s first big defensive play enabled Michigan to take the lead. After Derrick Nix made one of two free throws and Mitch McGary missed the front end of a 1-and-1 for Michigan, Burke stole a pass by Gary Harris to end it.
The Michigan State loss clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title for Indiana.
