Michigan State basketball suffered their second straight Big Ten loss in four days on Tuesday night against UCLA. It felt eerily similar to Saturday's loss against USC, also in Los Angeles, as the Spartans defense looked fierce but the offense failed to get anything going, ending in a frustrating loss for the Spartans and their fans.

The No. 9 Spartans closed a two-game road trip with a 63-61 loss against UCLA on Tuesday night at Pauley Pavilion for their first consecutive defeats of the season. After bringing a 13-game winning streak to Southern California, their lead in the Big Ten is gone.

Following the game, Tom Izzo had high praise for the Trojans. "They got good players, and they got good size," Izzo said. "Those guards are bigger than ours, and the 4-men are smaller. And it was just a tough matchup for us.
