Tuesday Night NCAA Basketball Thread (Sparty @ Iowa)
Simply stated. Sparty takes their injured and needing-sympathy team to Iowa City for a classic Big Ten showdown. Right now, ESPN.
There are other games but this is the best one of the night. Go Hawks.

I love Tirico but man do I hate the word ''physicality''. Is it even a word?
January 28th, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
That was an amazing, life-affirming drive by Harris right there. He carried the hopes of every MSU player in the infirmary on his fragile shoulders.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
right there. good one.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
Izzo looks happy about that call.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
That was all forarmball there by Harris.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
Make a fucking free throw Jesus Christ.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Appling so greedy - Harris is your best player. And your right arm is severed per reports out of EL.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
Good lord, Iowa. If you make your free throws, you win.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
5 more
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Obvious goaltend under the net. If your hand goes up through the basket it's a goaltend. Or at least it was against Michigan.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
I thought the same thing. It sure looked like the rim moved when Valentine grabbed the net. But I kind of doubt that would get called in most games that late, and it wasn't egregious.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Goal tending on Valentine on that attempted tip in
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
God how does Basabe miss that tip. Iowa could've won this game 1000 times.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Devyn Marblecake tooke about 15 steps on that last posession.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
So Iowa won by at least six in a sanely officiated game.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
These teams look awful.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
OT doesn't bode well for Ioway unless Harris or Appling somehow fouls out...
January 28th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Michigan State basketball is a lovable underdog now?
...........ok.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
I don't get why no one says that...
Judas Priest where did that 3 come from
January 28th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
again and again and again coming down the stretch. Hats off to State for tenacious play, but. . . damn, Iowa.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
How do you not make a basket for over 10 minutes?
January 28th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
How many minutes has Harris played? Bilas makes it sound like he's an ironman; I'm guessing he's playing about average.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Pretty much the whole game... They have no choice (partly because Dawson broke his own damned hand...)
January 28th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Too many "weird guys" handling the ball in that offensive set.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
His coach and his fans may be total choadbags, but I gotta respect Gary Harris' game.
Seriously, though, Iowa - how can you f. this up?
January 28th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
better than I thought they would after losing to us.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
This is MSU's third OT game already this conference season. About time they lost one.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
I know they're in the 60s, but it's like a sumo wrestling match.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
How has Iowa not made an actual basket in like eleven minutes? What the actual fuck.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
...with 1 second on the shot clock?
January 28th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
whoever was defending appling on that 3 totally gave up instead of putting a hand in his face. What a stupid play
January 28th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
Well Appling's wrist seems to have healed quickly.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
He is a warrior.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
SO the 2015 MSU squad will be Dawson + 7 Weird guys.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Iowa is not shooting FTs well. 27-40(!!) good for 0.675
January 28th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!
January 28th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Your stache sucks.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
The halfcourt line is invisible...
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Anyone's TV signal cutting out sporadically?
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
BULLSHIT.
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
LMFAO backcourt on morgan but no call on that. HALOL
January 28th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
January 28th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
When Michian plays Iowa again they better foul the Hawkeyes on every possesion. We'll end up winnning 75-16
January 28th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Game over
