Indiana won the battle of the boards and shot a season-high 89.3 percent from the line, but 11th-ranked Michigan State, thanks to 14 points from Draymond Green and 13 from Kalin Lucas, defeated the Hoosiers, 72-58, on Tuesday night.
"That's the best passing team we have played and they made some other tough shots," said IU Coach Tom Crean. "In my mind we were threatening and in the team's mind they were threatening. Every time we did, they made a big play."
The Hoosiers were led by sophomore Verdell Jones III who finished with a game-high 20 points and made 11 of 12 from the line. He is averaging a team-high 17.5 points per game in league play, which ranks sixth in the conference.
