Hoosier Defense in Shambles as MSU Surges to 77-64 Victory

Indiana’s defense remains a major issue as it falls 77-64 to Michigan State, extending its four-game skid. IU allowed 1.281 points per possession, struggled with ball-screen defense, and watched MSU shoot 50% from three. The Hoosiers also failed to capitalize on MSU’s late drought, received no bench points, and saw Reed Bailey limited again, highlighting depth and production concerns as NCAA considerations loom.
