Michigan State dominated the first half of the game against Baylor, leading 36-15. A 15-0 run by Michigan State and Baylor's offensive struggles, including a 2-point score in nearly 7 minutes, were key factors in the game's progression. Michigan State's coach, Tom Izzo, was praised for his crisis management, and player Tyson Walker's performance was notably strong. Michigan State's 21-point lead in the first half was seen as a significant regrouping opportunity for the team, with the crowd highly energized by their performance.
