It was a tough night for Michigan State basketball. Following a fun stretch of Big Ten play, the Spartans were shocked by Iowa on Tuesday night in a game where they were the clear favorites (MSU -9.5).
Iowa started hot, going into halftime up 45-33, and whenever MSU made a run, Iowa was able to respond. The final score was 78-71, Hawkeyes.
The Spartans’ three stars, Malik Hall, Tyson Walker, and A.J. Hoggard all had good scoring nights, but this was a tough night on the defensive end for MSU, and it was arguably the worst night their ‘center by committee’ has had as a unit.
Michigan State now falls to 17-10 on the year and 9-7 in the conference. They will host Ohio State on Sunday.
