EAST LANSING, Mich. — Shorthanded once again, Michigan State was in position to pull of arguably its gutsiest, most impressive victory of the season Monday afternoon at the Breslin Center.
Instead, it was No. 3 Purdue that put the ball in the hands of its likely All-American and 7-foot-4 Zach Edey delivered, scoring in the paint with 2.2 seconds to play, giving the Boilermakers a 64-63 victory as Tyson Walker’s final 3-point heave missed the mark.
The Spartans were without forward Malik Hall, who missed the game after aggravating a left-ankle injury in Friday night's loss at Illinois. Before the game, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo suggested Hall could be out for some time.
