In a heated conclusion to the regular season game at the Breslin Center, Michigan's Phat Phat Brooks shoved Michigan State's Tre Holloman after a free throw. This incident, which led to a brief scuffle involving multiple players, was marked by technical fouls for both Holloman and teammate L.J. Cason. Despite the altercation, Michigan State continued its tradition by kissing the Spartans' logo and secured a decisive 79-62 victory over Michigan, clinching the Big Ten Conference title by a significant margin.
Brooks and Cason were near center court with 37.2 seconds left after teammate Justin Pippen made his first of two free throws.
That triggered a brief scrum before officials, Michigan coach Dusty May and Michigan State assistants separated the emotionally charged players.
Holloman and Cason were each given a technical foul.
No. 8 Michigan State later resumed its kiss tradition and went on to beat No. 17 Michigan 79-62 in the final game of the regular season.
