Michigan State cut a 15-point deficit to seven with five minutes left but Hunter came through with a four-point play. The Spartans got as close as five on two Jeremy Fears Jr. free throws with 45 seconds left but didn't score again.
The game was tied early in the second half before Memphis started to pull away. Haggerty and Rogers hit 3-pointers then Moussa Cisse added a three-point play with an offensive rebound and reverse layup to make it a 15-point lead with 11 minutes left.
A couple of Hunter 3-pointers sandwiched around a Cisse dunk midway through the first half gave the Tigers a lead they held through the remainder of the half. The Spartans finished the final three minutes on a 8-2 run with Richardson's 3 at the end of the half getting the Spartans within three.
