I think the other reason Izzo is pissed about this is that in the COVID year, he agreed to play 3 road games in a row, in 6 days, starting with a game at Rutgers with only a portion of his roster, and they lost by 30, and now Pikiell is saying it will mess up his players' class schedule

Ouch.  Minnesota just lost their big prized recruit Dennis Evans.

He has a right to be pissed about Rutgers not willing to work with the league to reschedule.

And the dreaded 8 point lead

This would be the least making-sense-ist MSU team in a while, but last year was also weird. 

Its top three players are a versatile offensive Big who they don’t trust to play any defense, A tiny point guard who is the secondary ball handler and a tall shooting guard who is kind of the point guard and also kind of the best defensive wing. And then haul basically should be somewhere between a nice stretch for in matchup punishing power three and instead just doesn’t do a whole lot. And then everything else is just platoons of players who don’t totally feel good enough to completely grab a top spot. 

Granted, facing Iowa is weird. But seeing a guard start out on Iowa‘s power forward and having to switch Hauser onto the less threatening coach‘s son is unusual.

This games is bananas

Unbelievable .. you think that 1 point Fran gave up on that T was important?  This is as crazy of a last 2 minutes I have ever seen.

OT is pretty good too

Did I just see on the bottom line that Iowa forced OT with a 23-10 run in the last 90 seconds?  Is that right?

Yes, I believe I saw it's the third biggest final minute comeback in college basketball history.  I pointed out the number of times Michigan State has blown leads this year, even a few times where they've held on to win, but this certainly takes the cake
