Game Outlook
This should be a typical fun Big Ten game. But when push comes to shove, the Spartans are too physical and too talented to lose this game at home. The Hoosiers hang in for awhile with their ability to shoot the basketball. It may get tighter than folks in East Lansing want for a while. But, in the end, the Spartans should prevail by several baskets.
Enjoy the game!
