Iowa implosion

It came down to which team could perform a little less poorly than the other. And on Saturday night, Iowa was that team. In the lowest scoring game of MSU men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo’s career, the Spartans were upset by the Iowa Hawkeyes, 43-36, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. When the buzzer hit 00.0, the Hawks Nest, Iowa’s student section, stormed the floor as “Overrated” echoed off the arena walls.
