EAST LANSING, Mich. — Tyson Walker scored 22 points, Malik Hall had 18 points and eight rebounds, and Michigan State defeated Indiana State 87-75. It was Michigan State's first game since freshman guard Jeremy Fears was shot in the leg while on holiday break in Joliet, Illinois. He is expected to make a full recovery, but reports say he is unlikely to return this season. This was the first meeting between the teams since Magic Johnson led Michigan State to a 75-64 victory over Indiana State and Larry Bird in the championship game of the 1979 NCAA Tournament. More than 44 years later, Michigan State won with 47.5% shooting, a 41-27 rebounding advantage and a suffocating defense that held Indiana State to one field goal over the final eight minutes.
