WATCH: Malik Hall makes ridiculous shot as part of huge day
It’s been that kind of day for Malik Hall.
Hall, Michigan State’s second-leading scorer, had a monster day against Indiana off the bench, dropping 18 points to help the Spartans to a 76-60 win over the Hoosiers at the Breslin Center on Saturday. His best two points might have come on a shot in the second half when he literally made a basket from behind the backboard as the shot clock expired.
Have a day.
Hall entered the game averaging 10.1 points per game on a team-high 53.7% shooting from the field. He had himself a day against Indiana, and that shot over the backboard proves it.
The Spartans are coming off a rough stretch, losing three of their last five games. Getting Indiana at home appeared to be a chance to bounce back, and they certainly rose to the occasion despite some Hoosiers runs.

The Purdue Boilermakers are experiencing the life of a normal Big Ten team.

Because of the upset, the CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 has received another shake-up. With the loss, Purdue slid down five spots, just sneaking into the top 10. A few teams moved up one spot as well, filling the gap the Boilermakers left.
