MSU basketball overcomes poor start to earn emotional win over Indiana

What a win for the Spartans

There were a lot of emotions in the Breslin Center on Tuesday evening.

Michigan State returned to its home court for the first time since last week’s on-campus shooting and used a boisterous crowd from to pick up a massive win over Indiana, 80-65. With the win, Michigan State improved to 17-10 overall and 9-7 in conference play, and may have very well clinched another berth in the NCAA Tournament.

The emotions of the night may have gotten to the Spartans early on because they got off to a brutally slow start, falling behind nine points early into the opening frame. However, Tyson Walker was able to catch fire in the final seven minutes of the half in hitting four three-point field goals. That combined with a better defensive effort resulted in a 35-29 lead for Michigan State at halftime.

The Spartans would continue their hot end to the opening frame in the second half. Michigan State hit numerous three-pointers and got an exclamation dunk from Malik Hall to push its lead to 14 points roughly five minutes into the half.

Indiana would respond, however, cutting the Spartans lead to five points thanks to a 9-0 run. Michigan State would shift the momentum in their favor from that point and never let the game get any closer en route to a massive victory.

Michigan State got inspiring performances from numerous members, but was led by its backcourt. Walker finished the game with 23 points to lead the Spartans in scoring but his partner in the backcourt A.J. Hoggard was right behind him with 22 points. Hall and Joey Hauser also reached double digits in points with 10 each.

Michigan State will return to the court on Saturday in a road trip to Iowa. Tipoff from Iowa City is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET.

Michigan State vs Indiana Game Preview

Why Michigan State Will Win

It’s been a struggle for Indiana.

QB Michael Penix hasn’t been healthy – and he’s banged up and questionable coming in to this week – the team hasn’t been able to find the same magic, and it’s had the rough luck play facing Iowa, Cincinnati, and Penn State.

The offense not only hasn’t been great against the better teams, but turnovers have been a massive problem with nine in the three losses – and none in the two wins.

Michigan State hasn’t been a takeaway machine, but it’s been able to come up with eight over the last four games. More importantly, the offense has found its explosion.

Kenneth Walker might be the best running back in college football over the first half of the season, WR Jalen Nailor is coming off a monster performance against Rutgers, and overall, this isn’t your normal Michigan State.

However …

– Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Indiana Will Win

Give IU a little credit.

Maybe Iowa really is the No. 2 team in America. Maybe Cincinnati really is the No. 3 team. Maybe Michigan State is just a notch below the elite and about to deal with a rested team that’s a lot stronger than it showed so far.

Even with the issues of a 2-3 start, the Hoosiers might catch a couple of breaks here. Again, it had two weeks off, and Michigan State gets its time off next week with one eye possibly on the Michigan showdown.

The other is the potential to grind this down. IU isn’t Wisconsin when it comes to the time of possession battle, but it holds the ball for an eternity compared to Michigan State.

If the Hoosier defense can limit the big plays and do a decent job on third downs – the D is third in the Big Ten in third down stops – it has a shot.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Michigan State keep the focus for one more week before getting a little time off?

This is hardly a perfect Spartan team, and it’s going to sputter a bit more offensively than it might like – it’s desperation time for a Hoosier team that gets Ohio State, at Maryland, and at Michigan next – but the lines will take over.

The Michigan State pass rush will be overwhelming. Indiana won’t be able to run the ball well enough to make a difference, and too many sacks and tackles for loss will crush promising drives.

Why Michigan State Will Win

What’s Michigan State doing right in this ugly run of six losses in eight games?

It’s moving the ball around extremely well as one of the best passing teams in the conference. There’s not a whole lot of creativity or easy points happening, but the assists are there and there aren’t a whole ton of turnovers.

It has to be a nearly perfect formula at this point – few mistakes, good shooting from three, and the other team has to be off. Four of the last five teams MSU has faced failed to hit 30% from three.

Why Indiana Will Win

Michigan State isn’t scoring.

It’s struggling with its consistency from the field, the three aren’t falling, and it’s losing even when the shots are going down because it can’t keep up with the better teams.

IU hasn’t exactly been lights out, but it’s coming off a brilliant shooting win over Minnesota, the defense hasn’t been all that bad lately, and it’s been moving the ball around as well as anyone. Make this a shooting battle and IU wins without a problem.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Michigan State keep the score in the 60s and somehow come through in the final moments? It’ll outrebound the Hoosiers, but it won’t come up with enough clutch shots after a late IU run.

This won’t be anything pretty, but the Hoosiers will take it after pulling away in the final moments on the free throw line.
