What a great win for MSU. After scoring a pathetic 36 points last year in the whole game at Carver Hawkeye Arena, the Spartans almost matched that total in the first half. It was never really close until Iowa got within 9 with about 10 minutes to go and then Tommy called a timeout and got into his players. They came out and responded with a 6-0 run that they would never look back on, beating Iowa 71-56. Of course, it was the Durrell and Kalin show, as they accounted for 60% of our points. I don't think many expected us to lose this game, but none the less, a big road win in a tough conference. Now, Michigan State is 5-0 on the road in the Big Ten and 7-1 overall, holding a nice lead at the top of the Big ten.
What lies ahead for the Spartans? Well, 3 straight home games against Penn State, Indiana, and Minnesota. I am going to pencil us in for two wins again PSU and Indiana, but don't look for Izzo to blowout Crean even though he can. They are close friends and he won't do that to him. The only game I'm skeptical about is Minnesota, but the Spartans are tough to beat at home, just ask Northwestern...........oops!
MSU could easily be 10-1 in the Big Ten after next Saturday, with a huge game looming at scUM on Tuesday. Let's hope they use the next three games to build up their confidence and thrash the Wolverines. Go Green, Go White!
P.S. Happy Birthday to my mom. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am at today. Thanks Mom and Happy Bday.
