MSU Advances to Sweet 16 with Win Over New Mexico, 71-63

March 24, 2025: Michigan State took on 10 seed New Mexico in the second round of the NCAA Tournament and got just about all they could handle before dispatching the Lobos 71-63 late Sunday night. The Lobos had a lead as big as 10 points in the first half but only managed to score one field goal over the final 9 minutes of the half leading to just a 2 point advantage over MSU into the locker room. The second half went the way of most MSU games this season as the Spartans wore down their opponent and overtook the Lobos en route to an 8 point victory. The second half featured big contributions from Jaden Akins and Frankie Fidler despite Jase Richardson being ice cold from the field shooting 0-9 until he had a great putback on an airball and four free throws to score MSU’s final 6 points of the game. They now move onto the Sweet 16 where they will face 6 seed Ole Miss on Friday evening. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?
