Iowa knocks off the top-ranked Spartans and picks up its first signature win of the 2015-16 season.
It may not be adequate revenge for the Big Ten football championship game, but Iowa still served Sparty cold on Tuesday night.
The Hawkeyes scored the first points of the game, never relinquished the lead and handed top-ranked Michigan State its first loss of the season, 83-70, in front of a raucous Carver-Hawkeye crowd. Peter Jok tossed in 19 points, including consecutive three-pointers that pushed the margin to a game-high 19 right when Michigan State was threatening to make the game close, and his three steals helped Iowa discombobulate MSU's offensive flow.
