If you didn’t get to watch the game last night, consider yourself lucky. The men’s Iowa basketball team was absolutely dreadful to watch for the last 27 minutes of the game. For the first 13 minutes, however, the Hawkeyes were playing strong basketball against the Spartans and were trading shots with the trendy Final Four sleeper pick.
The wheels came off though.
With Iowa bringing the game to within one point on Nicholas Baer made-jumper to make the score 26-25, the Spartans turned it up a notch. Tom Izzo’s squad went on a 9-1 run in the next three minutes and never looked back.
