On Tuesday night, the Michigan State Spartans pulled off a thrilling victory against the Indiana Hoosiers, winning 80-65. The win was especially emotional for the Spartans, who were returning to their home court for the first time in over a year.

The Spartans were led by senior guard Joshua Langford, who scored a team-high 21 points. He was aided by fellow seniors Aaron Henry and Rocket Watts, who combined for 23 points. For the Hoosiers, Trayce Jackson-Davis led the way with 23 points, but the Spartans’ defense was able to limit the Hoosiers’ other offensive threats.

The game was close throughout, with the Spartans leading by only four points at halftime. However, the Spartans pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Hoosiers by 15 points in the second half.

The win was the Spartans’ third in a row, and the team is now tied for first in the Big Ten standings. It was also a big victory for the Spartans, who are looking to make a run in March Madness.

The Spartans will look to build on their momentum when they take on the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday.
