Michigan State is one of the hottest teams in the nation. The Spartans finished three games clear of the field to claim a Big Ten championship last week and head into the conference tournament semifinals as winners of eight straight.

Oregon’s eight-game win streak is now bookended by losses to Michigan State. Nate Bittle had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the No. 8 seed Ducks in a 74-64 loss to the No. 1 seed Spartans in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
