EAST LANSING — Michigan State basketball did what no other team this season has been able to do: contain Iowa’s Luka Garza.
But it was yet another dubious first in a long season of them for the Spartans: Tom Izzo’s worst home loss in 26 seasons.
One after by one, the Hawkeyes buried 3-pointer after 3-pointer and neutralized the Spartans in the first 10 minutes of No. 16 Iowa’s 88-58 victory Saturday afternoon at Breslin Center.
It was another ugly loss for MSU (10-8, 4-8 Big Ten), its third by more 25 or more points and fifth by double digits.
