Indiana’s No. 17 basketball visits Michigan State for Big Ten action in what’s sure to be an emotional atmosphere.
The Hoosiers (19-8, 10-6) have won a total of four of their last five games and tied up the last few road games (win Michigan, lose Northwestern). The Spartans (16-10, 8-7) have won three straight home games, but a game against Minnesota last week was postponed after a mass shooting on MSU campuses. MSU lost in Michigan over the weekend. ESPN’s matchup predictor gives IU a 52.2% chance of winning, despite the Spartans being 3-point favorites according to Draft Kings.
Zach Osterman And Tyler Tachman will have updates, and we’ll have highlights throughout. Please remember to update.
#SpartanStark: The IU recognizes shooting in the state of Michigan
Finals: Michigan State 80, No. 17 Indiana 65

Tyson Walker scores 23 points, AJ Hoggard 22, Malik Hall 10 and Joey Hauser 10 each.
MSU has +9 rebounds and after a frosty start, the Spartans finish 47.6% from long range (10 of 21).
