3. Aaron Henry has best game as a Spartan

Prior to Saturday night, Aaron Henry’s best game as a Spartan came just a couple games earlier against Maryland when he scored 12 points with six rebounds and four assists, but he’s going to one-up that performance against the Hoosiers.

With Josh Langford out for the season, there’s a good chance Henry will be cemented in that starting lineup for the Spartans and you can bet he had a sit-down with Tom Izzo about his role and what the head coach expects from him moving forward. He has to realize that he’s the No. 1 option to replace Langford and it all starts against Indiana.

The Hoosiers have been struggling on both ends of the floor over the past seven games and that’s going to continue as Henry will catch defenders napping off the dribble and take it to the rim for a couple of highlight jams.

On top of that, he’ll add some nice jumpers, a couple layups and even a 3-pointer or two to his highlight reel to finish the game with 14 points and seven rebounds — and only one turnover.

It’ll be Henry’s best game yet.
