Tre Holloman scored a career-high 20 points, Jase Richardson had 18 points and No. 8 Michigan State beat No. 17 Michigan 79-62 on Sunday.
With 37.2 seconds left, the rivals pushed and shoved one another at center court, where the Wolverines players were standing near the spot where Spartans seniors have kissed the logo before walking off the court in their final home game at Breslin Center since 1995.
The Spartans 26-5, 17-3 Big Ten closed the regular season with seven straight wins, including five against AP Top 25 teams.
Michigan State won the Big Ten's first basketball title with 18 teams by three games over the Wolverines and No. 13 Maryland.
Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo has won 11 Big Ten titles, tying the record Purdue's Ward "Piggy" Lambert set in 1990 and Indiana's Bob Knight matched in 1993.
