Michigan State Basketball 10-Point Underdogs Against Iowa
East Lansing, MI – Michigan State basketball closes out a three-game road trip Tuesday night against Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
MSU is coming off a 79-62 loss vs. Ohio State Sunday afternoon and have lost their last three contests following a 20-day hiatus due to COVID-19 issues within the program.
"We're just gonna have to keep fighting through it," MSU coach Tom Izzo told reporters on Sunday. "I did think there was some things I could take away from this game. If I get those kind of shots and we can't make them, we're not gonna win any games. The beginning of the year, we're making all those shots."
Following Tuesday's matchup, the Spartans head home for three straight games, beginning with Nebraska on Feb. 6.
Michigan State enters the contest 8-6 with a 2-6 mark in the Big Ten, whereas Iowa, a top-10 team in the AP poll, is 12-4 overall and 6-3 in league play.
