Spartans Corn-cobbed in Iowa 43-36

MSU continued another very ugly Big Ten performance tonight in Iowa City against the Iowa Hawkeyes. This was officially the 2nd road game for MSU the entire season. So no wonder why they struggled so much. They had a cupcake schedule all season with great home cookin’. The Sparty men must have gotten home-sick during their flight to Iowa, becuase their performance was pathetic. Come on guys, your girlfriends and pizza in the fridge will still be there when you get back in one day.

For the game, MSU shot 30.2% from the field and 25% from 3-point range (3-12). The real kicker was turnovers. The Spartans turned the ball over 18 times while Iowa only lost the pill 7 times. Raymar Morgan The Last of the Mohicans dvdrip and Drew Neitzel led the way with 10 points a piece, but had a combined 5 turnovers and shot a mere 9 for 26 from the field.

I may be acting grumpy, but the Spartans tonight let the wind out of my NCAA and Big Ten champ sail. True champions don’t lose to teams 7-9 overall and 0-3 in the Big Ten with a brand new coach and transition period on hand. Tom better get the damn pads out in practice and really work this spoiled bunch of Sparty men over and get them playing some good ball! Take them outside in the cold in their shorts and toughen’ these men up! Go GREEN!
