(msu by 12)
After watching them against Minnesota last night I'd be more confident about a UM win than MSU.I went MSU by 5 or less. That won't change me cheering and hoping for a W. I just gotta see it to believe it in a game like this. Prove it and maybe I am more likely to pick them against UM next week.
I think Iowa can hang until it comes to physicality and speed.MSU is just a better team. End of story.
You're points are well taken but we have already handled a physical team with a penetrating point guard. The problem with Nebraska that night was that they couldn't hit water if they fell out of the boat.I think Iowa can hang until it comes to physicality and speed.
As one would expect, all of their starters and 4 on the bench were top 100 recruits (3 of those starters were top 50) vs 3 guys total for Iowa, none top 50.
While I don't buy into stars or rankings on an individual basis, the one area I think it does come into play is physicality and speed. Those are two semi-tangible things that recruiting rankings tend to correlate with.
In what I hope is a close game, that's what the difference will come down to. We haven't beaten a team yet that can really penetrate to the basket, and definitely not one than can push our guys around underneath the basket for rebounds and layups. Michigan State probably is that team.
MSU 86, IOWA 80.
I hope I'm wrong. Go Hawks.
Wasn't Drew Neitzel like 1-13 that night?That's your *first half* score prediction..right?
