INDIANAPOLIS � Devoe Joseph made two 3s during a 10-0 overtime run and scored 17 points to lead Minnesota past No. 11 Michigan State 72-67 in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals Friday night.
The Gophers (20-12) meet No. 6 Purdue in Saturday�s semifinals. The Boilermakers beat Northwestern 69-61 earlier Friday.
Raymar Morgan had 23 points to lead Michigan State (24-8), which played without guard Chris Allen. He was suspended for the game by coach Tom Izzo for �not meeting responsibilities to his teammates.�
The Spartans went on a late 7-0 run to force overtime, and both teams had a chance to win it in the final 5 seconds. But Lucas lost the ball out of bounds with 3.9 seconds to go and Joseph�s desperation heave was off the mark.
Joseph made amends later, starting the decisive run with his 3. Minnesota built a 65-58 lead and sealed the win with free throws.
