Michigan State Wins Big Ten Amid Logo Scuffle

The rivalry between Michigan State and Michigan men's basketball teams flared up during their recent game, culminating in a scuffle over a longstanding tradition. Michigan State's Senior Day tradition involves seniors kissing the Spartan logo at midcourt, a practice dating back to 1995. The tension arose when Michigan players Phat Phat Brooks and L.J. Cason stood on the logo during the ceremony, leading to a confrontation initiated by Michigan State's Tre Holloman. This incident resulted in a brief altercation that was quickly diffused by coaches and officials, with both Holloman and Cason receiving technical fouls. Despite the scuffle, Michigan State secured a 79-62 victory over Michigan, reinforcing their dominance this season by winning the Big Ten regular season championship. Coach Tom Izzo expressed pride in maintaining the tradition and the team's accomplishments, highlighting the Spartans' resilience and strong performance throughout the season.
