EAST LANSING, Mich. - Draymond Green had 22 points, 14 rebounds and six assists to help No. 10 Michigan State beat Minnesota 68-52 Wednesday night and give coach Tom Izzo his 400th win.
Izzo downplayed what the milestone meant to him on Monday, but was wiping tears off his cheeks during the final seconds of the victory.
The Spartans (17-4, 6-2) moved into a first-place tie in the Big Ten with their second straight win after losing two in a row.
The Golden Gophers (15-6, 3-5) had won three straight, including their previous two on the road.
Minnesota's Rodney Williams scored 15 and Ralph Sampson III had 10 points.
Michigan State led by two midway through the first half when it went on a 16-5 run, leading to a 37-27 advantage at halftime.
The Spartans were up by 13 early in the second half, but Minnesota pulled within five with just under 10 minutes left.
