GREEN: The coach you've never heard of with 1,000 wins

The three gave the Spartans a 59-56 lead, and then Valentine stole the inbounds pass from the Buckeyes' Shannon Scott on the ensuing play to seal the win. 

Valentine —​ who else? —​ finished with a game-high 17 points as Michigan State picked up a much-needed quality win in the Big Ten.
