*****Official Michigan State at #25 IOWA Game Thread. 6PM CT. ESPN*****

The student section is sold out. Students are also buying up tickets on stub hub because they are still cheap from people giving them up due to the weather. My son and half of currier hall are on their way! Epicness shall ensue.

GO HAWKS!!!!

Is it a gold out?

 

[Packer54]

Was thinking (dangerous no doubt) but I having that OSU game get rescheduled MAY have been a blessing. We had just lost 2 in a row and then having to go to OSU. Instead, the guys seem to get their feet under them a it, tinker with the line up a bit and build some confidence. Yes, we lost to Michigan but then they came back and really looked like a confident road team at OSU. If the guys can hold the home court tonight on a big night all around we are in pretty good shape for 21 wins minimum before the BTT.

I demand that you demand we win.

If the Hawkeyes are half as fired up for this game as I am, the munchkin from East Lansing is gonna be a super ticked off bully in about three hours. I hope the students taunt the living daylights out of Izzo and his boys while the rest of the crowd vocally demonstrate that they're attending a big-time basketball game, not a golf tournament. Run Sparty outta the gym!

Defend and rebound. Rebound and defend. Defend and rebound. Then do it some more. Let's go Hawks!

the only 2 minute basketball highlight reel that includes every score from the game. woof!

as for tonight, my heart says hawks win but my head says we can't replicate the intensity from saturday and come up short. go heart.

 

[QChawks]

The crowd better be loud!!

 

[NevadaHawk]

I like our chances against sparty tonight. Win the war on the boards and play intense defense, and we check the win column against Izzo and Company.

 

[HawkBall23]

To quote the Black Eyed Peas, I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a good night.

Biggest point of interest is to get back and don't let MSU rack up a ton of transition offense points.

Here's hoping Keegan celebrates tonight by hanging 55 on MSU!!


(and JBo adds another game of 10-made 3ptrs to his collegiate tally)

 

[Randall Stanhope]

as of yesterday there were 1,500 undistributed tickets

Well distribute them, dammit!!

 

[Underscore2]

I demand that you demand we win.

I second that demand, of the demand.

[denmar81]

Fran discussing fertilizer with the ref. That was classic.

 

[longliveCS40]

What a great start! Keegan is unstoppable so far.

 

[QChawks]

Oh my 🥰

 

[HawkBall23]

As the late Stewart Scott was always so fond of saying; you can't stop Keegan Murray, you can only hope to contain him.

And right now, MSU ain't doing either.

Keegan turning those missed dunks vs Michigan and is just taking it to OSU last game and MSU tonight.

 

[flaiawis]

Murray making pretty good defenders look feeble.
This could be the softest team Izzo has run out in some time. No longer has the physical edge they used to own.
