Live updates: Michigan State vs. Oregon in Big Ten tournament quarterfinals

Michigan State looks to start March tournament play strong, beginning Friday in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal against No. 23 Oregon.

No. 7 MSU earned their double-bye and the top seed in the tournament by winning the conference, capping off their 2025 regular season with a dominant 79-62 victory over rival Michigan last Sunday. It was the 11th Big Ten title for Tom Izzo, who also recently earned his fourth Big Ten Coach of the Year award.

The Spartans look to win their first Big Ten Tournament championship since 2019, the same year where they also last reached the NCAA Tournament Final Four. They have yet to make it back to the the Big Ten Tournament finals since winning it, with only one semifinals appearance in 2022.

Meanwhile, Oregon enters as the eighth seed in the tournament, with all eight of their losses coming in conference play. Michigan State won the first match-up in February, coming back from a 14-point halftime deficit and needing all of Jase Richardson’s career-high 29 points to do so.
