Michigan State lost to Ohio State on Sunday afternoon, 74-67.
With the loss, Michigan State (21-7,11-4) has now lost four of their last six games and is now tied for second place in the Big Ten with Ohio State and Illinois.
The Buckeyes (21-7,11-4) shot 42% from the field and 41% (7-17) from three-point range. They out-rebounded Michigan State 38-32 and only committed eight turnovers in a rather lopsided victory.

Durrell Summers led Michigan State with 16 points while Draymond Green added 11 and five rebounds. The Spartans shot 33% (5-15) from three-point range while only going 56% (10-18) from the free-throw line.
Michigan State has the upcoming week off and will play at first place Purdue (23-3, 11-3) next Sunday for a shot to reclaim at least a share of the Big Ten lead.
