The Spartans (9-6 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) ended an eight-game winning streak against the Badgers (8-5, 1-2) with a final score of 84-71.

Down by four points at the half, the Spartans came into the second lagging. A 21-8 run with 2:21 remaining was enough to bring the Spartans within six points of the Badgers, but still forced them to send the Badgers to the free throw line in a failed last minute effort to bring it back.

Allyssa DeHaan scored a season high at 27 points, which included 11 drained free throws. The free throws were a career high for free throws attempted as well as made. DeHaan also tacked on 12 rebounds for her third double-double of the season.

MSU returns at noon Sunday at Breslin to tip off against Penn State.
