Halftime wrap: MSU up 36-29 against IU

All season long, Tom Crean has preached about getting the ball into Cody Zeller.

Well, after a first half of one shot attempt in 10 minutes for Zeller, the message is clear at halftime.

A 56 percent shooting first half for Michigan State has carried the Spartans to a 36-29 lead at halftime.

Junior forward Christian Watford leads the Hoosiers with 11 points and five rebounds.

Sophomore forward Will Sheehey did not make the trip to East Lansing, Mich., but senior guard Verdell Jones III has returned to the lineup and has four points in 14 minutes.
