Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Michigan State Spartans (-5.5, 131)

Third-seeded Michigan State begins defense of its Big Ten tournament championship when it faces a hot Iowa squad in Friday’s quarterfinals in Chicago. The No. 7 Spartans had a bumpy late-season stretch of three losses before rebounding to win their final two regular-season contests. The sixth-seeded Hawkeyes have won seven of nine games after beating Northwestern in Thursday’s first round. An upset of the Spartans would greatly bolster Iowa’s chance of landing an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Michigan State won 62-59 at Iowa in the lone regular-season meeting. The Hawkeyes let a 12-point lead get away in a game in which they were missing leading scorer Roy Devyn Marble because of an ankle injury. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery is aware of the importance of beating the Spartans this time around. “I hear what everybody’s saying about that particular game,” McCaffery said after the victory over Northwestern. “To me, I am very comfortable with where our resume is right now. I think we deserve to be in.” Michigan State can improve its seeding with a deep tournament run. The Spartans usually excel in March and are 24-8 during the month over the past four-plus seasons.​

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Hawkeyes are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Hawkeyes are 5-0 ATS in their last five vs. Big Ten.​
 
Iowa shoot woes continue, one of the rims gets busted from Oglesby's fade away rainbows.

MSU 75
Iowa 58

Then we can all stop stressing over this bubble stuff and start looking forward to home games in the NIT.

Am not looking forward to the Not Invited Tourney.

Today....MSU67 Iowa 59. Very few points out of Basabe and Woody. They will hammer white. Marble will be covered well.

Should have let MG sit more yesterday.

JO is the wildcard. Iowa won't be able to scumulate MSU. If Iowa wins takes a big game from JO aka Matt Gatens.
 
Iowa knows the importance of this one. They will play HARD. I will take Hawks by 2. No way MSU blows Iowa out, no way.
 
Iowa gets a hot start and ends up losing. Seems to be the closest thing to a reliable prediction of Iowa basketball.
 
Ha ha will do 136. I won't make a prediction on the final score but I will predict that the chunky chucking clanker will not get 18 on six threes!
