The Minute After: Michigan State
Thoughts on a 67-63 win against the Spartans:
Unlike other Indiana foes this season, Tom Izzo and the Michigan Spartans decided not to be so egregious with their defense on Indiana’s bigs. There were no constant, strong double and triple teams against the likes of Joey Brunk and Trayce Jackson-Davis to start this one. And so with a rocking Indiana faithful behind the Hoosiers at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, IU busted out to an impressive lead. The energy and effort from the Hoosiers, their ability to play their game on their home court, knocked the Spartans back on their feet — hard.
