Michigan State 82, UConn 73

Detroit (AP) - Raymar Morgan grinned and lifted his right arm high in the air, saluting a stadium filled with Michigan State fans with a little wave.

The Spartans promised their downtrodden state something good, and boy, did they deliver.

Morgan broke out of his late-season slump with 18 points, Kalin Lucas added 21 and the smaller Spartans ran roughshod over Hasheem Thabeet and Connecticut in an 82-73 upset in the Final Four on Saturday night.

The Spartans will play the winner of Villanova-North Carolina.

Jim Calhoun says he will think about getting out of coaching because of "some things thrown around for the past couple of weeks" that have disappointed him.

Connecticut's Hall of Fame coach was testy at times during his news conference Saturday night, following an 82-73 loss to Michigan State in the Final Four.

Calhoun said "I don't plan on going any place," but added he will give his future a lot of thought.

Yahoo! Sports recently reported former Connecticut recruit Nate Miles was given lodging, transportation, meals and representation by sports agent Josh Nochimson, and that a UConn assistant coach knew about the relationship between the player and the agent.
