March 28, 2025: Michigan State advances to the Elite 8 with a hard fought win over 6 seed Ole Miss, 73-70. The script was switched this game where Ole Miss was pounding the Spartans on the offensive glass with a 12-5 edge. However, MSU was about the same with regard to turnovers where they only turned it over 10 times which was less than we suspected the Rebels would need in order to win. The difference in the game came down to the free throw line where MSU hit 19 to Mississippi’s 9 and were ice
