Moore Granted Hearing to Challenge Arrest After Michigan Firing
The hearing will allow Moore’s lawyer to argue that the detective failed to disclose the alleged victim’s employment ties to the Michigan football program, which could undermine the probable‑cause basis for the arrest.
Moore was arrested on charges of third‑degree home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering after he allegedly threatened the victim with knives and scissors. He maintains his innocence and seeks to have the case dismissed.
Arbeloa: 'Ride Together' After Vini Jr Racist Abuse
Vinicius Jr scored the only goal in Madrid's victory but was later involved in an incident where Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni allegedly called him a monkey, according to Kylian Mbappé. The match was paused for ten minutes as Vini Jr reported the comments to the referee.
Arbeloa emphasized 'zero tolerance for racism' and confirmed Real Madrid's 'ride together and die together' philosophy, stating they would support whatever decision Vini Jr made. Prestianni has denied the allegations, claiming Vini Jr 'misunderstood what he thought he heard.'
Jeremy Fears Jr, Michigan State basketball feast on Bruins from deep
EAST LANSING – No need for a comeback. Not with the way Michigan State basketball rediscovered itself Tuesday, Feb. 17.
It was an overwhelming, dominating performance, start to finish.
The 15th-ranked Spartans scored 18 straight points as part of a 26-3 run that buried UCLA and Xavier Booker from the outset en route to a 82-59 victory at Breslin Center.
Coach Tom Izzo’s squad had lost three of its last four, including getting scorched 92-71 on Friday at No. 25 Wisconsin. And what the Badgers did to the Spartans, the Spartans passed onto the Bruins (17-9, 9-6).
Jeremy Fears Jr. set a personal best with four 3-pointers and both Jordan Scott and Kur Teng drained three apiece as MSU (21-5, 11-4 Big Ten) finished with a season-high 14 from behind the arc.
Fears had 16 points on 5-for-11 shooting and added 10 assists, the fourth straight game with double-digit helpers for the nation’s leader in assists per game. Coen Carr added 16 points, while Carson Cooper and Jaxon Kohler combined for 21 points and 17 rebounds. Scott finished with 11 points, the fifth straight game for the freshman shooting guard scoring in double figures.
Booker, the junior forward who transferred out of MSU after two seasons, finished with two points and two rebounds in 23 minutes for UCLA. Tyler Bilodeau led the Bruins with 22 points, and Skyy Clark had 12 off the bench. MSU held two of UCLA’s leading scorers, Trent Perry and Eric Dailey Jr. to just 11 points combined.
Big Ten standings
With the win, the Spartans kept pace with conference-leading Michigan, which remained 3½ games up on the Spartans with its own win Tuesday. The Spartans moved into a tie, however, with Purdue for fourth place in the conference; the top four teams receive a triple-bye in next month’s Big Ten Tournament.
What’s next for Michigan State basketball
Before hitting the road to Indiana for two games next week, the Spartans host Ohio State on Sunday (1 p.m., CBS). The Buckeyes (16-9, 8-6) hosted Wisconsin on Tuesday night, and they were coming off a 70-66 loss to No. 14 Virginia in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday.
Big resurgence
It has been a rough stretch for Kohler and Cooper. The two seniors struggled over the Spartans’ four-game swoon, with 6-9 Kohler averaging 9.3 points and 9.3 rebounds and Cooper posting 5.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in that stretch.
MSU came out and made both a priority to get on track.
Cooper hit a jumper from the wing, and Kohler followed with a short jumper on the block. Then the 6-foot-9 Kohler, who was shooting just 29.2% from deep over the past four games, drained a 3-pointer over Booker to jolt MSU’s early knockout punch and provide a sign of what was to come from beyond the arc.
Cooper added a dribble-drive layup through a foul for a three-point play later in the half, then followed it with four more free-throw makes as MSU’s lead grew to 40-16 with 3:53 left before halftime.
Both post players also dominated the glass against the Bruins, who entered ranked 310th in Division I at 32.72 rebounds a game. Cooper and Kohler each had seven rebounds in the first half and combined for 16 first-half points.
MSU dominated the Bruins on the boards in the opening half, 21-9, and finished with a 37-27 rebounding advantage.
Shooting stars
MSU went 14-for-27 from beyond the arc, eclipsing the 13 made 3-pointers the team had against East Carolina on Nov. 25. The Spartans entered shooting just 28.6% from 3-point range in the past four games (28-for-98).
Scott got things going with an early 3 and then buried back-to-back deep balls to cap the Spartans’ 18-0 run in the first half. UCLA dared Fears to shoot from outside, as other opponents have this season, and the third-year sophomore point guard connected early and often.
In doing so, MSU also guarded the arc far better against UCLA after giving up 15 3-pointers to the Badgers and allowing the past four opponents to hit 38.1$ from deep. The Bruins went 8-for-25 overall from 3 but were just 3-for-13 in the first half as the Spartans’ lead grew to as many as 24 before the break.
The Bruins entered 26th in Division I in 3-point defense (30.0) and 18th in 3-point shooting percentage (38.1%).
