INDIANAPOLIS, March 14 (UPI) -- Drew Neitzel's 28 points and five rebounds boosted No. 19 Michigan State over Ohio State 67-60 Friday in a Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal in Indianapolis.

The victory was a measure of revenge for MSU, which lost 63-54 at Ohio State last Sunday in the regular season finale. Michigan State used a 7-2 run to take a 41-36 lead with 11:21 to play after a 34-34 deadlock early in the second half.

With 5:28 remaining, its lead was 54-46 and Ohio State could not catch up.

Raymar Morgan and Kalin Lucas scored eight points apiece for the fourth-seeded Spartans (25-7), who will face No. 1 seed Wisconsin in one semifinal on Saturday.

Ohio State got 19 points with five rebounds from Kosta Koufos. David Lighty had 12 points and four rebounds.

Jamar Butler had 11 points and four assists, and Othello Hunter added 10 points with seven rebounds for the Buckeyes (19-13), who may miss the NCAA Tournament.
