EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State was surely battling its emotions when it took the court Tuesday night against Indiana, the first game at the Breslin Center since last week’s mass shooting that took the lives of three students and injured five others.
What the Spartans were also fighting was an inept offense, one that couldn’t get anything going against the 17th-ranked Hoosiers.
But with just six minutes left in the first half, Tyson Walker started to heat up, igniting a run from Michigan State that Indiana could never truly stop as the Spartans stormed back and pulled away in the second half for an 80-65 victory.
