EAST LANSING, Mich. – Jay Bilas couldn't believe it.
Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis rocketed a pass along the baseline to Miller Kopp, who caught the ball in the corner. With his momentum taking him nearly out of bounds, Kopp drilled a 3-pointer to give Indiana a 27-24 lead in the first half against Michigan State on Tuesday.
"How did he make that?" Bilas asked on the ESPN broadcast. "How deep was that? And almost behind the backboard to knock that in. What a great shot."
Indiana trails Michigan State 35-29 at halftime after the Spartans ended the half on a 22-7 run.
