Sparty vs. Iowa Basketball
Iowa just hit 5 threes to tie it. They were down 13 with less than 2 minutes to go.

I was watching the game and MSU was up like 10 with 2:30 mins to go so I decide it's a wrap and go take a shower to get ready for a kids birthday party. Took a long shower, shaved, got dressed came downstairs and saw Iowa hit the 3 at the buzzer to send it to OT! 😂😂😂
February 25th, 2023 at 2:44 PM ^
I question your definition of a "long" shower!
February 25th, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
It had to be about 10 minutes! Not long by my daughter's standards!
February 25th, 2023 at 2:48 PM ^
2:30 of game time takes about a half hour these days.
February 25th, 2023 at 2:49 PM ^
If you got young kids, 5 mins is considered a long shower.

I turned it off same time. Man - hate to miss a Francon-3 staredown AND Sparty no!

That was a very entertaining game to watch. Quite a few Iowa fans that were there left the building but those who stayed were rewarded. It was amazing to see the score 101-101 at the end of regulation. Sparty was 28-31 at the FT line near the end of the game. Those five 3pt shots made by Iowa in the crucial last 5 possessions in regulation were amazing.
I'd rather see a lot off offense in college basketball than a lot of defense, especially if it doesn't involve Michigan.
The Iowa win gives Michigan a cushion in the Bog-10 standings. Let's get a Michigan win at home tomorrow.

Hahahahaha amazing. Go Hawkeyes

Has Tom said anything about weird guys hitting 3s? Or how MSU played small (like its not his job to recruit big guys). Or how about the classic Tom "credit to them..but *insert excuse*, Our guys have been through a lot, we have a grueling schedule..and so on.
February 25th, 2023 at 2:53 PM ^
I won't dump on Izzo and there have been A LOT of incredible finishes in Big-10 basketball this season. Like seeing Purdue go scoreless near the end to loose to Indiana and also to N'Western as they were ranked #1 at the time. I never saw so many crucial turnovers at the end of the N'Western game and many by Edy.
The Big-10 Tornement is going to be a free for all.

"I had asked our guys to focus for 40 minutes, but they only gave me 38 minutes and 26 seconds."

“I’m not here to make excuses. I don’t make excuses. Credit to *insert team who just beat us*. You guys are going to write what you want to write anyway, I’m not making any excuses. Here are my excuses”

You nailed Izzo to a T.
February 25th, 2023 at 2:47 PM ^
Hate to see it.
Best part of Sparty having a season on par to ours is that I don't have to hear their constant yapping.
February 25th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
The Hawkeyes beat the Spurties!
They probably lost on purpose to prevent our game with them being a Quad 1 win.
February 25th, 2023 at 3:18 PM ^
Imagine that, an Iowa team relying on 3-point plays to win games.
February 25th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
^ perfect ^

One RCMB poster called it the “Biggest disgrace in Spartans sports history.” I guess he hadn’t heard about what occurred after the last football contest between our schools.
February 25th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
Oh come on. 2004 Braylonfest and 2006 "Make Plays!" game will always be the biggest chokejobs.
February 25th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Nah, never underestimate their ability to delude themselves.
They're convinced that that Green and McBurrows forced them to attack, so no, this is the "Biggest disgrace in sparties sports history", in their minds...
Go Blue!

Dont forget Izzo hiding a kid in his basement. And multiple Spartan bball players currently in jail. this is nothing.
February 26th, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
They forget about MTSU?
February 25th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
Uh what the hell happened in this game? I finished up watching TCU TT and switched it over and I swear sparty was up 9 with 50 seconds left and didn’t even bother
February 25th, 2023 at 3:54 PM ^
In fact, they were up 11 points with 56 seconds left.
Iowa hit a lot of threes.
February 25th, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
It was the Iowa tunnel.
February 25th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
Starting with 48 secs left in regulation, MSU up 10 - for those that missed the comeback (like me).

Try this link if you only want the good bits.

Thanks for posting that link. Watched the entire game until there was 1:30 left and assumed Sparty had it won. Didn't know the comeback happened until I was watching another game and saw it on the scroll. Watching that video was too much fun!! Still would have been better live.
February 25th, 2023 at 5:20 PM ^
Ouch …
February 25th, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
WOW a COLLAPSE of EPIC proportions
February 25th, 2023 at 6:23 PM ^
February 25th, 2023 at 7:23 PM ^
Just here to say holy cow that was ridiculous
February 25th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Iowa scored 25 points in less than two minutes. If they can maintain that pace and score 500 points per game, their defense truly won’t even matter.
February 25th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
Seems like Brian Ferentz should be taking notes from the basketball team.
February 25th, 2023 at 9:27 PM ^
So I guess you shouldnt be allowed to stare at refs anymore? But whining to them all game is fine? Lmao
February 25th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Left house 82-72 Spartoons.
Came back home to see Johnny2x2x claim Harbaugh killed 9 children under the tree he cleared this week, and Mentalstate said it was holding on every offensive play MSU had. Also Iowa bball should go SMU football death penalty due to the stare.
Crazy day.
February 25th, 2023 at 9:59 PM ^
So after the play we get decked in the back of the head and that's not anything
February 26th, 2023 at 12:50 PM ^
Wow, there is losing a close game, then there is whatever the heck this was!
