A rough day for Michigan State got even worse with guard Eron Harris going down with a right knee injury, the team announced Saturday.
Late in the second half with the Spartans trailing Purdue by double digits, Harris landed awkwardly after attempting a shot at the net. A stretcher was needed to bring him off the court.
The senior, who averages 11.1 points per game, had two points on 1-of-7 shooting before the injury.
Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press and Jay Bilas of ESPN noted the emotional impact from everyone in the arena:
