Indiana Hoosiers Upset No. 11 Michigan State Spartans in Big Ten Showdown

2025-03-01

The No. 11 Michigan State Spartans faced the Indiana Hoosiers in a Big Ten men’s basketball matchup on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Michigan. The game ended with Indiana securing a 71-67 victory over Michigan State, marking a significant win for the Hoosiers amidst a challenging season.

Indiana, led by Malik Reneau’s 19 points, overcame a strong start by Michigan State, which initially led 20-8. The Hoosiers switched to a zone defense in the first half, which proved effective as the Spartans struggled, shooting just 38.2% from the field and 4-of-24 from three-point range. Indiana maintained a narrow 32-29 lead at halftime and extended their advantage in the second half, despite Michigan State’s late-game push. The Hoosiers sealed the win with six consecutive free throws in the final 13 seconds.

Michigan State, coming off an 86-74 victory against Oregon, aimed to continue their momentum but fell short. The Spartans, ranked second in the Big Ten, had a strong home record of 12-0 prior to this game. However, Indiana’s defensive adjustments and Reneau’s dominant second-half performance, where he scored 16 points, proved decisive.

This loss adds pressure to Michigan State’s season, while Indiana, now 15-10 overall and 6-8 in the Big Ten, looks to build on this victory as they prepare to host UCLA next. The Hoosiers’ ability to close out the game, despite previous struggles with late-game leads, highlights a potential turning point in their season.
