MSU is 8-2 at home, on a 2-game winning streak, and played Iowa extremely close at CHA. I think the Spartans keep that momentum rolling and get a big win today.
I unironically agree with this. After Iowaās dismal collapse into obscurity I think itās pretty easy to see MSU steal one here. Say what you will about Izzo, but heās infinitely better than Fran is at coaching.
no CJ Fredrick againā¦uh oh
I like MSU in this game, The Angry Midget>>Franbuary!!
Incredibly bold of MSU to have a humongous ā22 straight NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCESā display behind their bench
does Langford attempt 100% of shots as long baseline 2s? I have literally not seen him attempt anything else this year
The current lineup for MSU might be the worst defensive lineup itās possible to put together in the BIG this year.
I think in every single Big Ten game this week, the team Iāve cheered for has lost (frequently involving a brutal late-game collapse). I donāt know if I dare get emotionally involved in this one.
(Fortunately Sunday starts a new weekā¦)
Iowa really is fun to watch.
Iām sure MSU will start making all their wide open threes soon. Franbruary!!
MSU sucks guys. Just accept it
Iowa starting to pull away already.
Gus Johnson has so many nicknames for Iowa that I assume he made up on his own. Patty Mac, CMac, and Weezy.
Obviously MSU just isnāt good this year but thatās really what stands out to me. Their offensive is just terrible (86th in KenPom) so to have any sort of success they need to rely on their defense. But for a defense first team they also give heavy minutes to guys like Loyer, Langford, and Hauser who are all bad defensive players. Then you have a guy like Watts who should be good defensively but generally isnāt, and guys like Hoggard and Marble who donāt play major minutes most nights but arenāt anything special on defense. To be a defensive team with that many problem players defensively is a concern.
Iām waiting for him to drop āGarzillaā
there was a Rockets-Knicks game a few years ago that Johnson called and he tried to make a French version of āCP3ā ā seh-peh-twah (trois)
Yes.
Mccaffery, Murray, and Nunge are 5-7 from 3. Thereās basically nothing MSU can do to comeback from that cause their offense is so garbage.
Lol, brown was the 1st guy to do ANYTHING on offense and he yanks him right away. Nice Tommy.
He didnāt even commit a foul. What gives
