We said we gotta give AJ a little more of a rest, it probably helped him make all those free throws down the stretch. When you have an event like this and you drag on the pre-game a little bit – he wore his shirt and everything, and his team did – I greatly appreciate it. And then we started driving the ball. And then, between Tyson and Kohler, we had a few plays. He sent me a text when it all happened, but to answer the call like he did and then weather through that little bit of a longer pre-game was classy on his part. On the floor, the Spartans overcame a sluggish start before an emphatic, impressive finish.

Tyson Walker scored 23 and A.J. Hoggard added 22 as Michigan State basketball, in its first home game since the mass shooting on campus, beat Indiana.

'If you want to make people feel better and you want to give them a hug, this is the way you give them a hug. So that was just really the talk, and then we just came out and the shots started falling." "The Izzone does a great job," Hall said of that stretch. The pregame ceremony proved emotional, with a long moment of silence and eight empty seats in the first row of the student section behind the scorer's table to honor the victims of the Feb. The pep band played "MSU Shadows," the school’s alma mater, with students in the Izzone and fans in the upper bowl of Breslin locked arm-in-arm and swaying together. Then Hoggard from the top of the key. Walker's four 3-pointers buoyed a 5-for-13 effort from behind the arc — and set the stage for what came next. "I think the fans did a good job, and we did a good job as a team and a staff to have our mentalities in check and just be ready to go out there and play basketball. We're playing for the whole Lansing community, the East Lansing community, all the Spartans across the nation. The Spartans also went 18-for-19 at the free-throw line, including 6-for-6 from Hall and Hoggard hitting six straight in the final 3:27. Tyson Walker made eight of 15 shots, scoring 12 points over the final 6:12 of the first half as MSU went on a game-changing 22-7 run.
