Quick thoughts on a 76-61 loss at Michigan State:
How it happened: Indiana’s struggles on the road continued on Saturday at the Breslin Center. The Hoosiers fought – and even led early in the second half – but once again couldn’t put together anything close to a 40-minute effort.
Indiana was in the game with 9:30 to play when it cut Michigan State’s lead to three on a pair of Tamar Bates free throws, but the Spartans answered with an 8-0 run. The Hoosiers never got closer than nine the rest of the afternoon. Much of Indiana’s struggles were with its shooting.
