Shawn Respert scored 31 points in his final home game to lead ninth-ranked Michigan State to a 97-72 rout of Wisconsin in the last Big Ten game in Coach Jud Heathcote’s 19-year career with the Spartans.
Respert left the game with less than two minutes to play and stopped to kiss the center circle as he received a standing ovation from the crowd of 15,138.
