Indiana lost another hard-fought nail-biter Saturday night at Assembly Hall 63-60 to 5th ranked Michigan State. The Hoosiers out-rebounded MSU 53-29, including 25-3 on the offensive glass. However, IU shot just 29% from the floor and couldn’t get over the hump down the stretch.

"It's hard to duplicate 16 rebounds."
Tonight, @Mcswain_Jr21 had the best game of his career in his first start. With 16 rebounds in 29 minutes, Freddie kept Indiana alive. Archie and Juwan made that clear. #iubb pic.twitter.com/m9m8wIrT24— The Hoosier Network (@TheHoosierNet) February 4, 2018

"I think we've gotta become tougher."
According to Izzo it was a "one person fight" out on the court today, saying that his team was beat up on the floor all game long #iubb pic.twitter.com/Epvkr2zGA3— The Hoosier Network (@TheHoosierNet) February 4, 2018
