BLOOMINGTON, Ind. " Kalin Lucas scored 15 points and Raymar Morgan had 14, including a crucial dunk with 27.5 seconds left, to lead No. 8 Michigan State past Indiana 64-59 Tuesday.
The Spartans (24-5, 14-3) eventually wore down the short-handed Hoosiers with depth, speed and muscle but struggled to put away their first outright Big Ten title since 1999.
Indiana (6-23, 1-16) was led by Verdell Jones with 15 points, while Nick Williams and Malik Story each had 11. But it wasn't enough to avoid losing an eighth straight game or match two more dubious marks in the record marks.
Indiana's five home wins was its fewest in a single season since 1969-70, and the Hoosiers tied the school record for worst home winning percentage in a season (.333), matching the mark set in 1943-44 when Indiana was 3-6.
Even after all that, and losing their top scorer, Devan Dumes, less than four minutes into the game, the Hoosiers found a way to hang around till the final seconds. Dumes left with what appeared to be a right knee injury and did not return. The school did not provide an immediate injury update.

No. 24 Florida State 81

No. 10 Wake Forest 65,
Maryland 63
COLLEGE PARK, Md. " Al-Farouq Aminu had 16 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, Jeff Teague scored 17 and Wake Forest beat Maryland.
The Demon Deacons, who took control with a 6-0 run in the final minute, held sway in every meaningful big-man stat. Rebounds: 50-32. Blocks: 10-3. Second-chance points: 20-6. They led by only one with 1 minute to play, but James Johnson had a tip-in at one end and a block at the other to sway the momentum for good.
Teague then went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line in the final 35 seconds to give Wake a seven-point lead. Maryland made two jumpers in the final 10 seconds to account for the final margin.
