Malik Hall played his best game of the season, scoring both inside and from beyond the arc in a 74-65 loss to Duke.

We’ve had a hell of a summer and fall shooting the ball and right now we’re not shooting the ball that well," Tom Izzo said. "I am not going to sit here and cry about it. We did a lot of good things tonight. We just have to make shots.”
