Let's get it rolling early today - Iowa at MSU Game Thread

[InGoodCo]

Hear me out - Michigan State is coming off a road win against their rival (Michigan) and has their other rival (Ohio State) coming up this weekend. Trap game? They've also won 6 straight, even great teams go through dips - I feel like MSU is ripe for the taking.

Obviously, I don't give Iowa much of a shot tonight, but hey, backs are up against the wall and I always hate when Iowa plays teams with their backs against the wall

Iowa has beat MSU 4 out of last 5 so there is some hope.

LOL...Spartans by a lot. They are clicking and they need wins for their NCAA resume. We do as well, but we have very little margin of error.

I would be highly surprised to be wrong here. This and the game at @Illinois could be ugly.

Vegas agrees - 9.5 road dogs tonight. I am hoping for a much better effort.

Payton hits that shot in the corner and they sweep MSU last year. I’m not expecting the W, but I am more optimistic than most.

Don't get me wrong, knocking them off would be wonderful. Any wins over Izzo is great....especially there.

This would be a huge game to win and keep us on the bubble. Win this one and split on the remaining games, win one in the tourney and we could sneak in or maybe get in one of those play in games.

My wife just suggested i throw my tantrum now, forego watching, and just go on hulu and re-watch Fargo season 5. She clearly doesn't understand the masochism involved in being a hawk fan!

Not sure how ugly. I’m thinking 14 - 16 points.
“Close” first half and drift away final 12 minutes.

 

[InGoodCo]

This is playing out terribly for us and so far we’re still in the game.

Old man rant

F*ckin forgot this was on Peacock.

Old man rant over.

Dembele and Freeman already have 5 fouls between them.

 

[trj]

They have nothing inside right now…gotta survive somehow.

 

[InGoodCo]

Dix needs to get back in the game and Patrick is being the clutch guy he is at times

 

[trj]

Pmac come back next year?

 

[trj]

I like the effort here…long way to go, tho.

 

[InGoodCo]

Pmac come back next year?

Both he and Tony have the option.

Of course. Playing at Izzoland.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

I might be dead wrong....Hawks are playing extremely well tonight. The foul trouble is concerning though.

 

[trj]

I thought maybe Pryce Sandfort should redshirt…guess I was wrong on that.
