Bloomington, Ind. — It was another tough day to be among the top-ranked teams in college basketball, and for a while on Saturday night, it looked like Michigan State would be the latest to fall victim to the upset.
Getting outhustled for much of the game at Indiana as the Hoosiers destroyed the Spartans on the glass, it was a big shot in the final minute from one of Michigan State’s role players that allowed the fifth-ranked team in the country to escape.
With 1:09 left on the clock, Matt McQuaid hit his third 3-pointer of the game to give Michigan State a four-point lead and help the Spartans to a 63-60 victory over Indiana at a packed Assembly Hall.
