Neil Ament Gallery - Michigan State

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and his Spartans came out swinging against the Badgers in their Big Ten Tournament Semifinal match. As is often the result, the Badgers ducked the best of the Spartans' punches to prevail 65-63.

Senoir Michael Flowers has a brief moment alone prior to his pre-game introduction.

Sophomore Jason Bohannon hits for three in the first half.

Senior Greg Stiemsma yanks down an offensive rebound.

After 28 points against the Buckeyes, MSU senior Drew Neitzel had 26 points in his semifinal loss against Wisconsin.

Stiemsma tells Chris Allen to take his shot somewhere else.

In the decisive play of the game, Flowers beats Neitzel to a loose ball leading to his game winning basket for the Badgers.

Joe Krabbenhoft grabs the loose ball as time expires and Brian Butch reminds us that he has one more Big Ten game remaining on Sunday.

A quarterback should always take an offensive lineman out whenever he gets the chance. Indianapolis Colts players, Jim Sorgi and Charlie Johnson enjoy the Badgers' victory on Saturday.
