Michigan State storms onto the Carrier Dome floor following its 76-70 overtime win over Louisville on Sunday, a victory that earned the Spartans a trip to the Final Four. Sunday’s showdown capped off a weekend of NCAA Tournament action in the Dome. chase gaewski staff photographer

hen Terry Rozier’s shot rimmed out and the clock ran out, Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes started running toward the Michigan State bench — their mouths wide open and their arms imitating airplane wings. The Spartans held a six-point lead and Rozier’s shot had no chance of swaying the final outcome. MSU head coach Tom Izzo stood in place while pandemonium ensued around him, soaking in his seventh Final Four bid. Forbes and Valentine dodged their teammates and coaches that poured onto the Carrier Dome floor, harnessing the same characteristic

that’s guided seventh-seeded Michigan State through four rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Untouchability. “I had so much energy and happiness and everything was running through my head,” Forbes said. “And I just couldn’t stop. I had to keep moving and just live the moment out. No one could catch me.” It took two halves and an overtime period, but the Spartans eventually edged fourth-seeded Louisville to win the East Regional on Sunday afternoon. Travis Trice — named the regional’s most outstanding player — led MSU with 17 points and iced the game with two free throws before Rozier’s miss pushed the Spartans to the see michigan

Ticket scalpers see tough market at East Regional By Chris Libonati staff writer

As Marshall Street flooded with people ahead of Sunday’s Elite Eight matchup between Louisville and Michigan State, a hand soared above the crowd clutching five tickets to the game. “Tickets, who needs ‘em?” the man said. He leaned in and offered the tickets as an Audi SUV drove by. The driver stopped the car and the man gave his price, but the driver shook his head, rolled up his window and continued down Marshall Street. A puffy, black North Face

jacket, worn jeans and a black knit skullcap with a gray stripe at the bottom sheltered Howard Booker from the breeze as he scalped tickets. For the most part, Booker’s inquiries fell on unlistening ears. The tickets he was scalping had plummeted in value. Tickets in the third level of the Carrier Dome, namely in the corners, had a face value of $75, but StubHub could sell the tickets for around $20. “What really sets the whole thing off is the teams that played in here,” said Shawn Morrison, Booker’s friend who also scalps tickets. “If we had a Kentucky see scalpers page 6

University Union plans to announce the artists that will be performing at this year’s MayFest and Block Party events “very, very soon.” Alli Reich, co-director of public relations for University Union, said she can’t say for sure when the announcement will happen, though. MayFest and Block Party make up UU’s annual full-day spring music event. MayFest and Block Party typically occur on the fourth Friday of April, with MayFest starting at about 1 p.m. in Walnut Park and Block Party beginning at 6 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. But students across campus have been growing restless as UU has yet to announce the artists for this year’s events.

We’re almost there though, just keep hanging in. I promise it will be very soon. Alli Reich co-director of public relations for university union

Reich, a senior drama major in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, said there is no specific reason why it is taking longer than usual for UU to announce the artists for this year’s MayFest and Block Party. “It’s not really up to us,” Reich said. “It depends more on the artists.” Sometimes artists’ contracts take longer to work out than othsee mayfest page 6
