FRANALYSIS: NO SECOND HALF COMEBACK THIS TIME FOR MICHIGAN STATE

Iowa exorcised some demons Tuesday night. Sure, Michigan State was without one of the best players in the country. But Iowa players didn't see it that way. They saw a powerhouse Michigan State team that this program hadn't beaten since 2011. They saw a Spartan team that these seniors had frequently outplayed in the first half over their careers, only to have everything blown to shreds after halftime. And they won by 13 points, with their star player -- also one of the best players in the country -- struggling to stay on the court, score, and hold onto the ball.
