Fans of Michigan State Basketball did get some great news on Thursday after all. The MSU Women’s Basketball team was able to upset No. 2 seed Indiana to advance in the Big Ten Tournament behind a 27-point second half from Nia Clouden. The final score was 69-61.
Clouden finished with 30 points, overcoming a tough first half to lead her Spartans to victory. Alyza Winston added 13 points. Alisia Smith led the team with 8 rebounds to go along with 6 points. Head coach Suzy Merchant was also able to get 13 strong minutes from the injured Taiyier Parks, who scored 4 points and added 5 rebounds, much of which came in crunch time.
The Spartans will now face either Iowa or Rutgers as they continue to advance in the Big Ten Tournament.
