The Big Ten men’s basketball season continues tonight as the Hoosiers of Indiana (14-10, 5-8) travel to East Lansing to take on the No. 11 Michigan State Spartans (19-4, 10-2).
Spartans’ Head Coach Tom Izzo is on the precipice of history. He won his 353rd career Big Ten game 86-74 Saturday against Oregon. The win tied the legendary coach with Bobby Knight for the most wins in the history of the Big Ten.
The Spartans sit in second place in the Big Ten, just 0.5 games behind the Purdue Boilermakers. Sparty snapped a modest two-game losing streak Saturday at the Breslin Center with an 86-74 win over the visiting Oregon Ducks. Michigan State outscored Oregon 50-24 after halftime.
Indiana has lost five straight and Head Coach Mike Woodson is paying the ultimate price as the rumors are growing louder he has agreed to step down after the season. The Indiana alum has been unable to get the team to come together despite having Top 25 talent on this roster.
The Spartans’ record in their last ten games is 8-2 while the Hoosiers’ record is 3-7 in their last ten. Indiana is 2-5 on the road this season while Sparty is 12-0 at home.
