TUESDAY'S GAME:Michigan State confuses after lackluster loss at Michigan; 'I just need them to play harder'
Game notes: With 10 games remaining on the Big Ten schedule for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, it's probably a bit too early to count on any Big Ten tournament seeding scenarios, but ... if the Spartans can get a little help from Michigan (in beating Iowa on Thursday), Illinois (in beating Iowa on Sunday) and, um, Penn State (beating Rutgers on Sunday), there's a path to a double-bye for the Spartans in Indianapolis next week.
