Michigan State junior guard Tyson Walker buried a decisive three-pointer with 1.4 seconds to go on Saturday afternoon as unranked Michigan State (19–9, 10–7 Big Ten) upset No. 4 Purdue (24–5, 13–5 Big Ten) by a final score of 68–65 in East Lansing.
The Spartans, who lost five out of their last six entering play, forced 17 Boilermaker turnovers, 10 of which came in the second half, to lead to the crucial home win.
Purdue received strong offensive performances from center Zach Edey (25 points) and guard Jaden Ivey (16 points) but couldn’t overcome the turnovers or lapses in effort on the defensive end.
