Spike Albrecht's late 3-pointer helps Michigan get past Syracuse Spike Albrecht found enough room against the Syracuse zone for one more 3-pointer, and when it rattled in with about a half-minute remaining, Michigan had regained the edge. "All night, we were really just trying to get two feet in the paint and Derrick (Walton) did a great job getting into the paint and ended up drawing the defense in," Albrecht said.

No. 25 Michigan State beats Eastern Michigan 66-46 Michigan State's Branden Dawson went up for what would have been an emphatic dunk -- a brief highlight in a game without very many of them. But before he could slam the ball through the hoop, Dawson was fouled and landed hard on the court. He then left the game and didn't return. "Every time I feel good about (the team), there's something else that goes wrong," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "It looks like just a bad sprain so far." Dawson's injured left wrist put a bit of a damper on Michigan State's 66-46 victory over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday night, but the 25th-ranked Spartans did deny the Eagles another upset win over an in-state foe. Eastern Michigan beat Michigan in Ann Arbor last week. Read more http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=400587454
