Number 16 for izzo's Sweet 16
Tom Izzo looked every bit a championship-winning head coach of 30 years when Michigan State was down 10 points in the first half, stoic on the sideline, hands in pockets. He directed his typical fits of fire and fury at the officials or his own players, but he never showed an ounce of panic. He had the same posture in the second half, as the No. 2 seed Spartans flipped that early deficit into a 71-63 victory over 10-seed New Mexico, advancing to the Sweet 16.

2023 State Farm Classic in chicago
MSU vs Duke
CHICAGO -- — Caleb Foster looked more like a player who had been there and done that than a freshman in his third game.
Foster made one big basket after another, scoring 18 points to help propel No. 9 Duke to a 74-65 win over No. 18 Michigan State in the Champions Classic on Tuesday night. And he did it after not attempting a shot in the Blue Devils' previous game.
Kyle Filipowski scored 15 points for the Blue Devils (2-1), who withstood several pushes by the Spartans (1-2) after grabbing an 11-point halftime lead in the first game of a powerhouse doubleheader. Hunter Dickinson and top-ranked Kansas met No. 17 Kentucky in the nightcap.
Foster scored all but two of his points in the second half, including back-to-back 3-pointers to expand Duke's lead to 68-56 with just under two minutes remaining. He was 7 of 8 from the field and 4 of 5 from beyond the arc.
There have been plenty of highs and lows already for Foster, who scored 15 points in a season-opening win over Dartmouth but was scoreless in 13 minutes in a home loss last week to then-No. 12 Arizona.
“My mindset was just to be ready when coach called my name,” Foster said. "Before the game, my teammates and my coaches were just telling me to be ready. I feel like I work hard for this moment, it’s a moment I’ve dreamed of, and so, yeah, just coming in and be ready."
Fair to say, he impressed coach Jon Scheyer.
“Every high school player in the country should follow what he’s done the last two games because it’s what it’s all about, the attitude, the mindset, the work, he’s crushed it,” Scheyer said.
Filipowski, who scored 25 points in each of Duke's first two games, had 10 points in the second half. The preseason All-American grabbed eight rebounds.
Mark Mitchell and Tyrese Proctor each scored 13 points as Scheyer got a win in front of his hometown crowd. He starred at Glenbrook North High School — about 25 miles from the United Center in Northbrook, Illinois — before becoming an All-American player and longtime assistant for Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski.
Tyson Walker led Michigan State with 22 points and Malik Hall scored 18. The Spartans shot 6 of 19 on 3-pointers after going 2 for 31 during their first two games, a season-opening loss to James Madison and a blowout win over Southern Indiana.
BE-DEVIL-ED
Michigan State fell to 4-15 all-time against Duke — 3-14 under coach Tom Izzo.
“I think we got a damn good team,” Izzo said. “I really do. We haven’t played very good. We haven’t played very good. We’re going to play good. But why am I 3-14? I would like to know what their record is against a bunch of other people. They’re good, you know, give ’em credit, they’re good. Give me blame, because I’ve had different players and still lost so it’s got to be the coach.”
The Spartans had a sizable contingent of fans that included Magic Johnson roaring early in the second quarter when they went on a 9-2 run to pull within four, capped by a put-back by Jaden Akins to make it 35-31.
Duke answered with a 12-2 run to bump the lead to 47-35. But Michigan State kept it close and got within 51-48 on a 3 by Tyson Walker.
BIG PICTURE
Michigan State: Let the panic begin in East Lansing with the Spartans below .500 after opening the season ranked fourth in the AP Top 25. Actually, they showed some resolve in the second half. But the 3-point shooting remains an issue.
Duke: The Blue Devils got the win they needed after the loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Kansas vs Kentucky
They saved the best for last in Tuesday night's doubleheader of the Champions Classic, as No. 1 Kansas and No. 17 Kentucky provided a thriller full of back and forths that ended with the top-ranked Jayhawks emerging victorious 89-84 in Chicago.Kansas took the game by storm in the opening few minutes in charging out to a 9-0 lead, but that was as big a lead as it got the rest of the night. Kentucky punched back by not only showing resolve, but responding with a resounding run of its own, finishing the first half with a 48-41 lead behind Rob Dillingham's 16 first-half points.Kentucky continued its run into the second half and grew its lead to as many as 14, but Kansas had the last wind to finish the heavyweight fight as big man Hunter Dickinson took over down the stretch. Dickinson, who finished with 27 points and 21 rebounds, recorded 14 points, 11 boards and three steals in the final 20 minutes of action, overwhelming UK with his size and tenacity and taking advantage of the Wildcats' lack of size (at least for now) in the frontcourt. There are no moral victories at a place like Kentucky -- because, well, it's Kentucky -- but losing to the preseason No. 1 team by five points in a game in which it did not have multiple key pieces in its frontcourt is at least a fine consolation for a tough loss. UK freshmen Justin Edwards and DJ Wagner both struggled, going 1 of 18 combined shooting from the floor, but fellow freshmen Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham combined for 31 points and looked the part as impactful pieces that could force their way into major rotation assets for a young Wildcats team.
- Hunter Dickinson became the first player to have at least 20 points and 20 rebounds vs. Kentucky over the last 25 years, per ESPN. He also is the first player in Champions Classic history to have a 20-20 game.
- Five-star recruits for Kentucky combined for five points in the losing effort. Four-star recruits for Kentucky accounted for 47 points. Antonio Reeves, who was not ranked as a recruit coming out of high school before signing with Illinois State and eventually transferring to Kentucky, had a team-high 24 points.
- Kansas' Kevin McCullar Jr. became the third Jayhawk in program history to record a triple-double, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists (with his 10th rebound coming in the final second of the game). The first KU player to record a triple-double was Cole Aldrich in 2009, and the most recent KU player was Jeff Withey 11 years ago in 2012.
