Auburn mounting comeback
The Vols were up by 12 just moments ago, but multiple turnovers and poor shot selection has allowed the Tigers to climb back into it.
Auburn is on an 8-0 run and down 64-60 with just under 5 minutes left.
Big Ten semi coming down to the wire
There isn’t much separating the Spartans and Badgers now. It’s a 1-point game and there’s just under 2 minutes left.
Vols take largest lead of game
Tennessee finally created at least a little bit of separation after an 8-0 run gave them a 55-47 lead. We’ll see how the Tigers respond down the stretch as this one hits the 8-minute mark.
MSU flying high
The Spartans are right back in it after another rally was capped by another alley-oop to Coen Carr.
Auburn, Tennessee locked in battle
The SEC showdown between the Tigers and Vols has not disappointed. Neither team has led by more than 4 points since the midway point in the first half.
Tonje rallies Wisconsin back in front
That was short-lived. The Badgers just went on a 11-0 run to recapture the lead. John Tonje had nine of those points and now has 23. The one he didn’t score, he found Carter Gilmore for an assist.
Spartans surge into lead
Tom Izzo’s halftime adjustments are already paying off for Michigan State. The Spartans are on a 12-2 run, capped off by this alley-oop from Jeremy Fears Jr. to Coen Carr.
We are back for the second half in both the SEC and Big Ten semifinals.
Halftime: Wisconsin 37, MSU 33
The Spartans led for the majority of the first half, but the Badgers hung around and took the lead just before the break.
John Tonje is leading the way for Wisconsin, as he has all year. The senior guard has 14 points.
Halftime: Auburn 33, Tennessee 32
It’s been a very even first half in Nashville. The two teams started off with a furious pace and made the first 8 shots of the game, but have cooled off since.
Chaz Lanier and Zakai Zeigler are in double digits already for Tennessee; Johni Broome is leading the way for Auburn with 12 points.
Wild sequence goes MSU’s way
The Spartans appeared to have given Wisconsin an easy layup after throwing the ball off an official, but a chase-down block by MSU’s Jaden Akins erases the mistake. (The ball hit the glass and should have been goaltending, per the broadcast, but no call was made.)
Michigan State still up as first half ticks under 5 minutes.

Vols guard Lanier is cooking
Tennessee’s Chaz Lanier is a perfect 4-for-4 from the floor and has 10 points in the first 10 minutes of action. The Vols hold a five-point lead as the first half hits the midway point.
Spartans still hot
Michigan State is picking up right where it left off yesterday.
MSU in control early
The Badgers and Spartans have also tipped, with Michigan State taking an early 13-4 lead. Tom Izzo’s bunch could find themselves on the No. 1 seed line if they finish the Big Ten tournament strong.
