Michigan State basketball was playing catch-up all game against Iowa at home on Tuesday night. What’d we learn from the ranked battle?

Home-court advantage has not been kind to Michigan State lately, but the Spartans found a way to grind out a win for the first time this season after trailing at halftime, 78-70.

The Spartans improve to 19-9 with the win and 11-6 in conference play with three regular season games remaining and, surprisingly, they still have a shot at the Big Ten title, but they’ll need to win at Maryland on Saturday.
