Michigan State traveled to Bloomington, Indiana, for their regular season finale. It was a game of runs and, just like MSU’s Senior Night a few days ago, this game would come down to the wire. After forgetting how to play basketball at the beginning of the game, scoring only seven points in the first ten minutes (for the second consecutive game), and falling behind by as many as 17 points, the Spartans slowly began chipping away at the Hoosier lead and managed to finish the first half down only five points.
In the second half, the Spartans looked like a completely different team early on with great ball movement offensively and finally some success on their three-point shooting as well as a swarming defense that was forcing turnovers with regularity.
