Michigan State return to Sweet 16 for first time since 2015. MORE: MarchMadness
The Spartans came out making shots at a blistering pace and were never seriously threatened, a stark contrast to their nerve-wracking first-round win over Bradley on Thursday.
Xavier Tillman had 14 points, Winston added 13 with nine assists, and the Spartans shot 57.1 per cent. Murphy, whose absence was a big reason MSU held a 45-19 rebounding advantage, subbed in for 10 seconds in the final two minutes. Gophers fans chanted his name as he came out and went down the bench hugging coaches and teammates.
