It doesn't matter whether injured guard Kalin Lucas plays Tuesday night for the Michigan State basketball team - the Spartans need a victory against Purdue, Draymond Green said.

“We are going to put emphasis on this game that it’s a must-win game for us,” Draymond Green said. “It is a big game for us. Purdue, they’re hot right now, they’re a tough team. They want to take a win from us.”

Purdue (19-3, 7-3), on a five-game winning streak, visits the Breslin Center today for a 9 p.m. game (ESPN) against the Big Ten-leading Spartans (19-5, 9-2).
