by No. 17 Indiana basketball visits Michigan State for Big Ten action in what is sure to be an emotional atmosphere.
The Hoosiers (19-8, 10-6) have won four of their last five games overall and have split their last road game (win at Michigan, loss at Northwestern). The Spartans (16-10, 8-7) have won three straight home games, but a game last week against Minnesota was postponed in the wake of a mass shooting on the MSU campus. MSU lost at Michigan over the weekend. ESPN’s matchup predictor gives IU a 52.2% chance to win, though the Spartans are 3-point favorites, according to Draft Kings.
Zach Osterman and Tyler Tachman will have updates, and we’ll have highlights throughout. Remember to update.
