In this story:


A season that started with high expectations has taken a turn for the worse lately, as Indiana has lost seven of its last eight games. The Hoosiers were picked second in the preseason Big Ten poll, but now they're looking for a new head coach for next season after Mike Woodson announced Friday his intentions to step down after the season.

On the other side, Michigan State is in the heat of the Big Ten race at 10-2 in conference play. The Spartans lost back-to-back games for the first time all season at USC and UCLA to begin February, but they got back on track Saturday with a win over Oregon.

The home team has won the last four matchups between Indiana and Michigan State, and a Spartans win Tuesday would give Tom Izzo the most Big Ten wins in history, passing Indiana's Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight.
