How To Watch Indiana vs Michigan State Basketball

Indiana was on the verge of picking up its biggest win of the season Saturday against No. 10 Nebraska, but the Hoosiers squandered a 16-point second-half lead in an 83-77 loss.

That means Indiana is still going for its first win over a ranked opponent as it takes on No. 12 Michigan State Tuesday night in East Lansing, Mich. The Hoosiers' last trip to the Breslin Center came with a upset victory over the eventual Big Ten regular season champs, as Mike Woodson's squad won 71-67 behind double-doubles from Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo.

The Spartans enter Tuesday's game with their lone blemishes of the season being a two-point loss at Nebraska on Jan. 2 and a six-point home loss to No. 6 Duke on Dec. 6. Coach Tom Izzo has a veteran team led in scoring by senior forward Jaxon Kohler and junior point guard Jeremy Fears Jr.
