College basketball: No. 4 Michigan State falls to Wisconsin, 77-76

Ethan Happ scored underneath the basket with 10 seconds left and Wisconsin defeated No. 4 Michigan State, 77-76, on Sunday at Madison, Wis.

The Spartans still had two chances to win but Denzel Valentine missed a three-point shot and Matt Costello’s last-second side jump shot bounced off the rim.

Bronson Koenig scored 27 points and Nigel Hayes had 25 for the Badgers (10-9, 2-4 Big Ten Conference), who trailed, 76-72, after Valentine made a runner.

Koenig made a three-pointer with Valentine in his face and the shot clock winding down to pull Wisconsin within 76-75 with 27 seconds left.

The Badgers went to a full-court press for the first time in the game and forced a turnover as Eron Harris stepped out of bounds while double-teamed.

With the clock winding down, Koenig found Happ for the winning basket.

Valentine led Michigan State (16-3, 3-3) with 23 points and Costello scored 18.

No. 10 Southern Methodist 60, at Tulane 45: Markus Kennedy scored 13 points and the Mustangs (17-0, 6-0 American Athletic Conference) pulled away late to remain the nation’s only unbeaten Division I team.

Jordan Tolbert and Nic Moore scored 12 points each for the Mustangs, who shot a season-worst 40.4% (21 of 52) and did not take the lead for good until Ben Moore’s running floater as he was fouled made it 33-30 with 12 minutes 41 seconds to go.

Melvin Frazier scored 11 points and Malik Morgan had 10 for the Green Wave (8-11, 1-5), which has lost five of its last six games.

Southern Methodist made one of 10 three-point shots but outscored Tulane, 32-16, in the paint.

at Utah 59, Oregon State 53: Beavers forward Jarmal Reid tripped a referee and was ejected with 2:56 remaining, starting the Utes’ winning rally by the Utes (13-5, 2-3).
