Michigan State (17-10, 9-7 Big Ten), which lost
to arch-rival Michigan on Saturday, was playing its first home
game since a mass shooting on campus on Feb. 13 claimed the
lives of three students.
Trayce Jackson-Davis led the Hoosiers (19-9, 10-7) with 19
points, seven rebounds and five assists but also committed seven
turnovers. Jalen Hood-Schifino had 16 points for Indiana, and
Trey Galloway added 11.
Michigan State outrebounded the Hoosiers 33-24 and had a 17-6
advantage in bench points. The Hoosiers had won nine of their
previous 11 contests. The Spartans have won three of their last
four.
Walker made four 3-pointers before halftime to give the Spartans
a 35-29 lead at the break. Jackson-Davis led the Hoosiers with
nine points.
Indiana scored the first eight points of the game. The Hoosiers'
lead fluctuated between four and nine points until Walker made a
3-pointer, cutting the Hoosiers' advantage to 24-21. He made
another with 3:51 left in the half to tie it.
The Spartans took their first lead at 28-27 on a layup by Jaxon
Kohler. Walker drained another trey with 10 seconds left in the
half as Michigan State finished the period on an 11-2 run.
The Spartans quickly extended the lead to 44-31 during the first
two minutes of the second half on 3-pointers from Jaden Akins,
Hauser and Hoggard.
After Indiana pulled within eight points, the Spartans answered
with a 6-0 spurt that included four points from Hall.
A 9-0 Hoosiers run that included five points from Jackson-Davis
cut Michigan State's lead to 53-48. The Spartans came right back
with an 8-0 outburst, including two baskets from Hoggard.
Indiana was unable to cut its deficit below eight points for the
remainder of the game.
