*****Mich St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

11:00am ESPN
Iowa -5.5

A wounded Iowa, losers of 3 of their last 5 games, takes on a mediocre Sparty team again. MSU won 63-61 at home.

Because it’s in Carver I expect a hawkeye win but the way this team is playing it’s hard predicting us to beat anyone.

Give me Iowa 82-74 I suppose.

 

[markfromj]

Winners of 5 of last 8.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Protect home, make the NCAAs, all is possible. Izzo is insufferable.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

I’ll be there cheering loudly. Go Hawks!

 

[Loveblackandgold]

It is going to be a full house. Let’s get after it!

 

[BrewHawk]

Michigan State is a different team than the one we lost to in EL.

I don't see this going well.

They had a good game against Indiana, but lost to Michigan by double-digits before that.

Regardless, if Iowa shoots well they’ll win. After two duds on the road, they most likely will.

I'm about to head over boys.

So far I seen Rutgers and Indiana...looking to go 3-0 this year lol

 

[Chishawk1425]

Pound the over. We need this win badly.

 

[WSC72]

I’m predicting:

Lots of complaining about officiating
Lots of complaining about Izzo
I don’t expect to lose but if we do the B1G conspiracy thing will be mentioned
Lots of complaining about Fran’s coaching and player rotation
Some completely irrational fans posting
And a Hawkeye win

 

[DewHawk]

Not optimistic with the way Iowa has been struggling on the court and McCaffery's same same approach to game managment.

 

[Hendy hawk]

Will they be using the Wilson ball today?

I think they are due for a let down. The last two weeks have been very emotional for them. It’s natural for them to be a little spent emotionally today.
And, we have sucked so hard on the road that the guys are going to come out firing behind a rowdy crowd.

 

[hawksense]

It’s redundant, but the season starts today. Play with effort and control and urgency for the remaining schedule. Seniors need to lead the way, but everyone doesnt need to be lead. Take it upon yourselves to be your best.

 

[icwesthawk]

Don't turn it over, drive into the lane, take the game to them, rebound like there is no tomorrow.

 

[dadster]

Make free throws and shoot 40% on our 3's and we should be ok.

 

[the24fan]

Limit PMac's minutes and get back to the rotation they had during his absence, and they might get this thing turned around.
Sorry but nothing has been right since he came back.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Which Iowa team shows up? The one that shoots lights out at home or the shitty road shooting team we've seen the last 2 games.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[NI hawk]

Those are my thoughts.

You are probably correct in your predictions. To say we need a win today is an understatement. We have to hit our 3s, block out/rebound, and not turn the ball over. Hawks by 8.

Sparty here, to monitor the real time game posts, will be checking it for accuracy.
Of course, if it isnt going well for the visiting team, I will be switching over to the Yankee/Phillies ST game .

Accuracy?

Nothing but the truth spoken here.
