BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana picked up its biggest win of the season Tuesday, defeating No. 11 Michigan State 71-67 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

They began by breaking down Indiana's upset win at Michigan State, then delved into the Hoosiers' mentality at this stage of the season and shared their thought on various individual performances in recent weeks.
