C'mon...this is No. Iowa we're talking about!

I think the line in the Michigan/No. Iowa game is WAY off. This is Northern Iowa we're talking about here...versus a Big East team.

No. Iowa barely squeezed by UNLV and got very lucky to beat a Kansas team that was looking ahead to the Maryland/Michigan St winner.

Even if M-State is missing Lucas, this game should be a complete walk for them. Adam Koch (averaging like 10 PPG) is No. Iowa's leading scorer. I don't really care how clutch Ali Farokmanesh is...bottom line is, he's a jobber who had a horseshoe up his ass that game.

I'm more sure of this game than I am my own marriage (...I hope my wife doesn't have a capp mall login)....but, really, M-State easily covers the line.

Get on the train fellas.

when did michigan state join the big east?

actually the line is right on, look at either sagarin or pomeroy #s

they are 0.5 to 1 point difference in the teams and that doesnt take into account Lucas out

one thing about Izzo is he gets a lot out of a little...but his teams eventually lose to talent

much like Coach K he refuses to recruit the one and done player that bolts to the NBA after one year

not sure N.Iowa is much better in talent, but they are about even

looo

so N.Iowa a #9 seed barely squeezed by UNLV , the #8 seed?

how did the #5 seed Michigan State do as 13 point favorites against #12 seed New Mexico State?

N. Iowa is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. Big East I mean BigTen teams

classic to see guys spin things the way they want to see it.

Izzo is gonna have to shoot the lights out tonight from what Im reading all over the mall.

Im with you sharp money. There is only one word needed for this game....Izzo! The man can get his team prepared, I lost against them against Maryland and Im not making the same mistake twice (at least for this round).

Agree, NI run will end , MSU will not overlook this team like Kansas did, without Lucas Izo will have them even more focused for this game. NI is a nice team that can shoot and its a lot easier for these small schools to be motovated vs the big dogs, the "us vs the world mentality", Kansas wasnt ready and all of the sudden they found themselves in a "war" by the the time they woke it was too late. Its impossible for the Spartans to make the same mistake now, MSU too fast too athletic too, too strong, -1 is a gift I think, If this game was played early Dec MSU would be laying around 10. GL

Defense and ball control on both sides, should be low score and a close game throughout. Good game to watch IMO.
