Huge Second Half Propels MSU Over Oregon 84-72

February 8, 2025: Michigan State returned home to East Lansing and played two strange halves of basketball. In the first half, Oregon torched the Spartans for 50 points and led by 14 at the half. But roles reversed in the second where MSU scored 50 and held the Ducks to 24 allowing for a 12 point win, 84-72.

On offense, the Spartans were led by Freshman Jase Richardson who scored a career high 29 points on 8-13 field goal attempts and 8-9 from the line. Even better was that he got that performance in front of his dad, Jason Richardson, and most of the 2000 national championship team. In addition to Jase’s performance, Jaxon Kohler chipped in with a double double of 14 points and 12 rebounds to lead MSU on the boards.

Of course, the cherry on the top for Michigan State is that the win  over Oregon marks the 353rd Big Ten win for Tom Izzo tying Bobby Knight’s record at Indiana. It also sets up Tuesday’s game against Indiana as his chance for breaking the General’s record against his former team. Perhaps even more coincidentally, Tom Izzo got his first Big Ten win against Bobby Knight and the Hoosiers 30 years ago.
