MSU finishes regular season with a win
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (AP) -- Kalisha Keane scored 19 points to help No. 10 Michigan State rally from 12 points down in the second half to beat Minnesota 65-51 on Sunday. Lykendra Johnson had 18 points and Porche Poole added 10 for the Spartans (25-4, 13-3 Big Ten), who scored 13 consecutive points midway through the second half to erase the Gophers' lead. That was part of a 26-2 run in which Michigan State held Minnesota to one basket in an 11-minute span.
Katie Loberg scored 19 points and Kiara Buford had 10 for the Gophers (12-17, 4-12), who have lost five of six. The Spartans bounced back from last weeks loss to Ohio State that ended their six-game winning streak, and avoided losing consecutive games for the first time this season.
