INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan State started the second half of Friday night’s Big Ten quarterfinal against Ohio State with an offensive assault it did not show in the game’s opening 20 minutes. The Spartans came out and scored the first eight points causing Buckeyes head coach Thad Matta to call timeout just 2 minutes, 2 seconds into the second stanza.
After the timeout was called, Matta approached JaQuan Lyle and got right in the ear of his freshman point guard, yelling with the hopes to prove a point. Lyle was taken out of the game and replaced by A.
