New York, NY (SportsNetwork. Cheap Jerseys 2020 .com) - After toppling top-seeded Virginia on Friday, the Michigan State Spartans will face the upstart Connecticut Huskies in the East Region Final at New Yorks famed Madison Square Garden. Watch Michigan State vs. UConn live on TSN with coverage starting at 1pm et/10am pt. Led by American Athletic Player of the Year Shabazz Napier, UConn has been playing above the No. 7 seed it earned in this tournament. The Huskies knocked off third-seeded Iowa State (81-76) in the Sweet 16, following a 77-65 upset of second-seeded Villanova. They are now attempting to reach the Final Four just three years removed from their surprising run to the 2011 national title. The Sweet 16 battle between Michigan State and Virginia was as advertised, with the fourth-seeded Spartans surviving with a 61-59 victory. The win was the sixth straight for Tom Izzos club, which includes their run to the Big Ten Tournament title. The Spartans are back in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2010, which was also the last time they made it to the Final Four. The 2010 trip to the Final Four was the second straight for MSU, which actually defeated UConn (82-73) in the 2009 semifinals before falling to North Carolina in the national title tilt. These teams have met twice since, with UConn winning both times to pull ahead in the all-time series, 3-2. The winner this time will take on No. 1 overall seed Florida in the Final Four next Saturday. UConn dominated in the first half and then held on in the second to pull off the upset of Iowa State. The Huskies led by as many as 17 points and shot 52 percent for the game, while holding scoring edges from both 3-point range (27-18) and the free-throw line (20-6). DeAndre Daniels (13 ppg, 5.8 rpg) came up big in the win, controlling the paint with a team-high 27 points to go with 10 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Daniels is clearly the most productive performer in close to the basket for the Huskies, who rely more on their talented backcourt. At the forefront of that game plan is Napier. The 6-foot-1 guard, who was a freshman on the 2011 national title squad, leads this years team in scoring (17.9 ppg), assists (4.9 apg), rebounding (5.9 rpg) and steals (1.8 spg). Ryan Boatright (12.1 ppg, 3.4 apg) and Niels Giffey (8.4 ppg, .514 3P percentage) provide depth and offensive punch out on the perimeter. After trading leads during the first 38 minutes of action on Friday, Michigan State was tied with Virginia at 51-51 with 1:49 to play. The Spartans then got a 3-pointer from Adreian Payne and a dunk from Branden Dawson to take control of the game, as they held on by hitting 5-of-7 free-throws in the final minute. Dawson compiled 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Payne had 16 points in the win over Virginia, as the frontcourt tandem powered Michigan State not just in that key stretch, but the entire game. The rest of the team managed only 23 points on 7-of-19 shooting. Leading the charge offensively is not a rare occurrence for Payne (16.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg), who is second on the roster in scoring, but getting such a productive effort from Dawson (11.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg) was a surprise, considering he is more of a complementary scorer. To defeat the Huskies, the Spartans will need better play from their key backcourt contributors -- Gary Harris (16.6 ppg) and Keith Appling (11.4 ppg, 4.5 apg), who combined for a mere eight points against Virginia.

Rather, the Dallas Stars blue-liner, who finished with two goals and two assists, pointed out his defensive performance as a highlight in a 5-2 victory Saturday over the Winnipeg Jets.Im learning new stuff almost every game, and I think today was a good game, said Klingberg, who now has nine goals and 24 points in 35 contests.Obviously, four points is a good night, but I think I played pretty good defensively, too, so Im happy about the game today.The Stars (23-19-7) scored four times on the power play, with Klingberg, Patrick Eaves, Shawn Horcoff and Jason Spezza producing with the man advantage. Tyler Seguin tacked on three assists.Captain Andrew Ladd tied goal-leader Bryan Little with his 18th of the season and added an assist for Winnipeg (26-17-8), which extended its losing streak to three games. Toby Enstrom had the Jets other goal.I dont think it was the best start and, obviously, taking too many penalties, Ladd said. Theyve got some guys up front that can make you pay and that was the difference.I thought we were doing some good things, but its tough when youre building momentum and you end up in the box.Kari Lehtonen made 38 saves for the Stars, who were coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa.Michael Hutchinson stopped 27 shots in his second straight start for Winnipeg, but his effort wasnt helped with the Stars getting eight power plays.I dont think we were over the edge, but look at the penalties. Two were undisciplined penalties, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said.Ladd said its a balancing act.Its something that we need to get better at, he said. At times, you try to wind yourself up as much as possible emotionally, trying to finish your check and (be) involved in the game.Sometimes, weve been taking it too far, so its something where we have to get better at walking that line and being more disciplined.The Jets, who had two power plays, had won their previous three home games.Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said his players held their own in the battles.Obviously, they were trying to play real physical and they were taking a few penalties, Ruff said. The only way you can stop the physical play is by putting the puck in the back of the net.For us, we had the opportunities. If you dont take those opportunities, then it keeps coming.Dallas opened the scoring with Eaves fifth goal of the season at 5:13— 15 seconds after Jets defenceman Ben Chiarot went off for interference. Matt Szymanski Jersey Retro. Winnipeg had a 3-on-1 rush late in the period, but Adam Lowrys shot hit a Dallas player. The Stars outshot the Jets 11-10 in the first.When youre able to make that kind of save, that makes me feel good and its easier to get going from there, Lehtonen said. I think there was some bounces that went my way, too. You need that to have a game like that.The Jets put five shots at Lehtonen in the first three minutes of the second, but he withstood the barrage and Ruff called a timeout.Winnipeg continued to swarm in the Dallas end midway through the period for more than a minute and the fans erupted when Ladds low shot went by a screened Lehtonen at 10:14 to make it 1-1.With Jets defenceman Zach Bogosian in the penalty box for slashing, Horcoff scored his seventh goal of the season when he deflected a shot by Trevor Daley from the high slot at 14:21.On Dallass third power play of the period, this time with Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien in the box for delay of game, Spezza scored his ninth of the season for a 3-1 lead at 18:47.Winnipeg outshot Dallas 18-13 in the middle frame.At 4:31 of the third period, Klingberg scored his eighth of the season when his shot from the point got past Hutchinson, who had Chiarot and Colton Sceviour banging at each other in front of the net.The players paired up for some fighting eight minutes into the period and Dallas came away with a two-man advantage, setting the stage for Klingbergs second goal of the game at 8:40.Hes played well for us, Ruff said of the young Swede. Hes a young D thats got some good skill.You know, sometimes the puck goes in the net for you. The wrist shot from the point found a hole somehow. For a young D, he took a beating out there a few times tonight, but kept playing.Stars captain Jamie Benn assisted on the goal, giving him four goals and five assists in his past six games.Enstrom made it 5-2 when a rebound from Blake Wheelers wrap-around attempt bounced out to him and he beat Lehtonen at 12:46.Both teams made changes to their defensive pairings, with the most notable being Byfuglien going back with former sidekick Enstrom instead of rookie Chiarot, who teamed up with Bogosian. Defenceman Jacob Trouba, who was playing his 100th career NHL game, was paired up with Stuart.The Jets head out for a two-game road trip, starting Monday in Calgary and the following night against Vancouver.
