EAST LANSING (AP) — Tyler Walker and Jaden Akins hit big baskets down the stretch and Michigan State defeated Iowa 63-61 on Thursday night. Walker came back onto the floor after leaving for a few minutes with a foot injury and immediately hit a long 2-pointer for a 61-59 lead with 1:24 remaining. A half-minute later, Akins sank a short jumper for Michigan State's largest lead. Iowa (12-8, 4-5 Big Ten) edged within two on Connor McCaffery's basket and got the ball back after Hoggard missed the front end of a one-and-one.
