Michigan State 80, Indiana 65 in basketball: three key points, highlights, and final statistics.

1. MSU becomes heated at three. Starting the game, the Spartans made 1 of 7 shots from beyond the 3-point line. However, the Spartans started to take advantage of open looks as a result of Indiana overhelping and losing track of shooters. The game ended 10-of-21 for them from three. Leading the way was Tyson Walker, who made five of seven long-distance attempts, including some late shot clock daggers.

2. The second foul by Hood-Schifino. Indiana was ahead 22–13 with a little over six minutes left in the first half. However, Jalen Hood-Schifino was called for his second foul of the half at that point. After electing to bench his rookie point guard for the remainder of the half, head coach Mike Woodson’s team outscored the Hoosiers 22–7 at the half. Hood-Schifino was the only player on the field at plus four.

3. There is no bench manufacturing. With less than three minutes left in the game, the Hoosiers had just two bench points before some late free throws. Indiana’s bench was outscored 17–6. The Indiana bench committed four turnovers and only made one of its seven field goals. Tamar Bates, a crucial substitute, sat out the second half of play.
