Just a really good game. I had a hunch that Michigan State would be able to attack the paint and that bunch was proven correct as more than half of the Spartans’ points came inside the paint and they got 12 more off of free throws. Purdue did put up quite a fight thanks to their super efficient 3-point shooting that was nearly as good as MSU’s shooting from everywhere. The only issue in that regard was Braden Smith just chucking up 3s and bricking them more often than not, including a 3 that could’ve won the game for the Boilermakers. If he hits that, this game becomes an instant 9 imo. Purdue even made a small comeback in the last couple minutes, just couldn’t put a bow on it with the win. The biggest difference was taking advantage of opportunities, whenever Purdue made a mistake, the Spartans almost always pounced on that error. Considering how tight this game was down the stretch, they needed every single one of those points. Again, just a really good game.
