TALKIN' HOOPS: IOWA VS. MICHIGAN STATE GAME THREAD

I don't think we need much preamble for this game, do we? It's the biggest game for Iowa hoops in years -- probably since 2006. Iowa absolutely must win this game to have a prayer of making the NCAA Tournament when the field is announced on Sunday. A win tonight might not be enough -- they might need a win tomorrow as well -- but we can't think about tomorrow until we win tonight.

Please, Iowa: win tonight. Beat Sparty. I'm not ready to cast aside NCAA dreams just yet.

The game is on BTN at approximately 8pm CT.

The usual rules of open threads apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no politics, no religion, no slurs, etc.
