*****Official Michigan State at #8 IOWA Game Thread*****

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

What was the foul on Joe T?

Probably, should have went to CMac.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I hope I’m wrong, but I think these refs may be Izzo’s bitches

It sure seems like they reacted to Izzo's freak out.

 

[birthhawk]

Evidently Ahron Ulis must have pissed on Fran's pants. Not going to see game action tonight either....

How the **** you know that?

 

[HawkRugged17]

Nice floater by Henry ... MSU leads by 9.

 

[Mitch122]

So the defender has his hands all over the offensive player, but if the offensive player tries to fend off the defenders hands it’s an offensive foul? Ok

 

[silasstarr]

Where was the foul there?

I see the ref that always Fuchs Iowa is in there. I saw him looking at the scoreboard. It made me wonder if he’s trying to even the fouls.

 

[Chishawk1425]

That a boy Nunge

 

[BubsFinn]

Joe T got fouled.

 

[HawkRose]

At least
This squad hustles. Offensively challenged but hustles

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice follow Jack!

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

Fran fade alert

 

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

CHA is the worst home court advantage in the conference.

Brilliant!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Nunge working hard on the offensive board. Hoop and gets fouled.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Iowa has zero business losing to MSU if they are half as good as they think.

This. You just can't lose to this Sparty. Lose tonight and expectations are dialed way back down

 

[HawkBall23]

He’s a pretty good defender. He just needs to get stronger and be more patient at the rim. Once he develops that, he will be a solid player.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Good job Nunge.

FTs?

 

[unoHawkeye]

Love Jack showing some assertion and going up strong there

 

[IowaMeatMan]

Just wondering is there an NIT this year?

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Best Jack Nunge play yet in his career!

 

[Moral]

Big 10 refs and Tom Izzo. Ugh.

Does he bang them after the game? I never understood why he gets the calls he does. Izzo basically just has his team see how much they can get away with, and when they get called he gets in their ears(I am assuming to tell them the sexy sex moves he has planned if they call the game his way), refs are get worried they won't get the D and change how they call.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I disagree. He brings quickness and length and hustle on D. He's a better defense than his brother.

I agree.

 

[BubsFinn]

CHA is the worst home court advantage in the conference.

And has been since it was built.

 

[QChawks]

At this point I don’t know what team in the big ten I’d feel good about getting a win

 

[Chishawk1425]

Drawing plenty of fouls, need to make hay at the line and foul out their guys.

 

[birthhawk]

This is straight up message to the starters minus Garza.

 

[HawkRugged17]

10 seconds left on shot clock ... give it to Joe T and he gets fouled.

 

[flaiawis]

Nice Euro step Joe T.

 

[HawkRose]

Henry for msu travels every other play

 

[unoHawkeye]

No shooters on the floor, yet Iowa’s athleticism is showing on the defensive end and they are getting into the lane, drawing fouls, and grabbing offensive boards. Good stuff

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

And has been since it was built.

Oh, I'd say it was rockin in the 90s.

 

[QChawks]

Bad pass. Thank you

 

[HawkRugged17]

Joe W back in ... Perkins out. Good minutes. Joe W scores right away. Iowa only down 2 now.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Keep it going!

 

[RocknRollface]

Can anyone offer a reasonable explanation as to why Fran is playing zone with Luka and JBO on the bench?

 

[HawkRugged17]

Slow Garza ... still beats everyone down the floor. Joe T spots him for 2.

 

[QChawks]

MSU reached 37 points already

 

[Moral]

I like this JT guy. He should play more.

 

[ChuckBarkley]

Connor off he should sit

 

[HawkRugged17]

MSU reached 37 points already

 

[Hawksfor3]

Jack, Oh No! Yes!!!
