Matt Charboneau of The Detroit News breaks down Michigan State's loss at Purdue. The Detroit News
West Lafayette, Ind. – As the wins kept piling up, the talk kept getting louder.
Could Michigan State, the last undefeated team left in the Big Ten, actually go through the 20-game schedule without a blemish? Or at the very least, how long would the run last?
The answer came Sunday afternoon at Mackey Arena, and thanks in equal parts to a tough schedule, a couple of critical injuries and a woeful first half, it came in the form of Purdue’s 73-63 victory.
