Game recap: Indiana basketball extends winning streak to four games by edging Michigan State
Indiana basketball is on a hot streak (on the court) for Senior Day against Michigan State.
The Hoosiers (17-13, 9-10 Big Ten) are on their first three-game winning streak since the end of nonconference play in December. However, they lost their lone 2024 commitment, throwing cold water on their good vibes.
Michigan State (18-12, 10-9) won its Senior Night game over Northwestern, snapping a three-game losing streak. This is the first meeting between the teams this season.
Zach Osterman, Michael Niziolek and Zion Brown are your best IU basketball follows. We'll have live updates throughout, so please remember to refresh.
Big day: Leal, Galloway to take part in IU's senior day
Recruiting loss: Woodson's job was hard enough. Losing his only 2024 recruit makes it tougher
Insider: Woodson has critics, but this was always the outcome
Final: Indiana 65, Michigan State 64
IU's winning streak reaches four games heading into the Big Ten tournament.
Kel'el Ware has 28 points and 12 rebounds. Malik Reneau has 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Mackenzie Mgbako has 13 points.
An old bugaboo reappears, with IU hitting 5-of-12 free throws. (Ware goes 1-of-6, but his make proves to be the winner.)
Tyson Walker scores 30 points for Michigan State, while Jaden Akins and A.J. Hoggard have 10 each.
IU will learn its conference tournament seed after the rest of Sunday's games.
