The Iowa Hawkeyes (12-13, 3-9) are set to face the Michigan State Spartans (22-3, 10-2) after another poor road performance. Any bump Iowa is hoping to get from returning to the friendly confines of Carver-Hawkeye Arena is immediately wiped out by the imposing Spartans defense. It’s further diminished by Jordan Bohannon’s health, as he has yet to recover from the illness which kept him on the bench during the second half against Penn State.
Michigan State is led by an beefy frontline of Miles Bridges, Nick Ward, and Jaren Jackson Jr.
