If it wasn’t already, the Michigan State Spartans’ season is on life support. MSU was defeated by the Purdue Boilermakers by a final score of 75-65. The loss dropped the Spartans to 10-9 overall and 4-9 in Big Ten play.
Michigan State fought hard, but couldn’t overcome poor shooting to begin the game and mental mistakes down the stretch in the second half. A lack of options at the point guard position and poor free-throw shooting (12-for-18, 66.7 percent) also didn’t help matters for the Spartans.
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo spoke with the media following the game.
