INDIANAPOLIS — Jase Richardson scored 17 points and Jeremy Fears Jr. added 11 points and five assists to lead No. 7 Michigan State past No. 23 Oregon 74-64 in the first Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal game. The Spartans have now won eight straight, matching a season best. The league's regular-season champion will face either No. 18 Wisconsin or fourth-seeded UCLA in Saturday's first semifinal game. Nate Bittle finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Ducks. Oregon cut a 42-32 halftime deficit to 44-43 early in the second half. But the Spartans responded with a 15-0 run and were never seriously challenged again.
