With a chance at an upset win over No. 8 Purdue, senior guard Kalin Lucas said he and the MSU men’s basketball team wanted to be the aggressor Sunday and take it to the visiting Boilermakers. Instead, Purdue took it to the Spartans (16-12 overall, 8-8 Big Ten) for the entire 40 minutes as the Boilermakers (24-5, 13-3) ran over MSU, 67-47, at Breslin Center. “Today, we definitely wanted to come and play aggressive, and we wanted to bring the punch to them,” Lucas said.
For the entire month of February, the MSU men’s basketball team has been The Kalin Lucas Show. But just like many shows that don’t adjust the plot, it’s not enough to succeed anymore. The senior guard scored 23 points in Sunday’s 67-47 loss to Purdue at Breslin Center, but for the third-consecutive game, Lucas was the only Spartan to score in double figures. Junior forward Draymond Green scored seven points on 3-for-12 shooting, tied for his highest output in the last three games. In fact, until a layup by Green with 4:04 to play, senior guard Mike Kebler was MSU’s second-leading scorer behind Lucas with six points. If the Spartans (16-12 overall, 8-8 Big Ten) are to finish the season strong and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament, more Spartans are going to need to improve their offense – and it can’t be Kebler leading the charge. “When I do penetrate to the hole and guys don’t hit shots, you’ve just got to keep their spirits up and just tell them to make the next one and to go to the hole, get fouled and get a rhythm that way,” Lucas said of his teammates. The guy who needs to help Lucas as much as anyone is his best friend, senior guard Durrell Summers, who continues to be nowhere to be seen.
