Big stakes at Bill Armstrong Stadium tonight as No. 4 Indiana closes out the regular season against Michigan State. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. on BTN.
Indiana enters at 13-1-3 overall and 6-1-2 in Big Ten play, tied with Washington atop the conference standings.
A win guarantees the Hoosiers at least a share of their 20th Big Ten regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. IU owns the head to head tiebreaker over Washington, which faces UCLA tonight.
Michigan State comes in at 10-3-3 overall and 5-2-2 in conference play, just three points behind the Hoosiers.
IU is 10-0-1 at home this season and looks to finish its home regular-season schedule unbeaten.
Indiana is coming off a 3-1 win over UCLA, while Michigan State looks to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Rutgers.

Heuer takes a shot just inside the box, goalie saves it and deflects it right to a streaking Bogard who scores again in 3 minutes
Charlie Heuer the unsung hero on both of those Bogard goals

Halftime Thoughts:
Indiana 2 - Michigan State 0
Easton Bogard’s performance has the Hoosiers in control at the half. Indiana has been quick moving forward, and has been creating chances all half.
Westin Carnevale hit the right post in the 22nd minute after some nice work from Stephane Njike and Charlie Heuer. Bogard also had a couple of early looks before finding the net twice in a span of 2:22.
IU holds a 9-3 advantage in shots and has limited Michigan State’s opportunities. Michal Mroz handled the Spartans’ lone shot on target late in the half.
Strong opening 45 for Indiana, they are one half away from securing at least a share of the Big Ten title.
"We're not just gonna sit back" Coach Yeagley said at half "We're gonna look for the 3rd"
Oh no, in the 46’, great ball play from Leo Conneh leads to a doorstep header for Andrew Darakdjian, Goal MSU
2-1 Indiana still leads but all of a sudden we’ve got a ball game
BANG, Indiana responds at the 48’, Adu-Gyamfi gets a great run down the right side, finds Heuer on the doorstep, Goal Indiana
Charlie Heuer again a part of the goal, this time he scores
3-1 Indiana
*phew*
And again, Richie Ludwige comes sliding in and scores after Mroz saves the shot from Darakdjian, a tough score on Indiana in the 54'
Score is now 2-3 Indiana
