Loyer coming alive for Michigan State
On the Spartans' first possession after the break, Nick Ward draws a foul and will go to the line. He sinks one-of-two and now has a team-high five points.
Ohio State misses a 3-pointer on the other end; Matt McQuaid goes to the hole, draws a shooting foul on the ensuing Michigan State possession. He makes both to give the Spartans a 20-17 lead.
Andre Wesson takes — and makes — his first shot of the game for Ohio State, drilling a 3-pointer to tie things up at 20-20.
