Doyle 14 pts

Nice halftime interview with Megan Gustafson. Not clear how she is in the US? Plays in Hungary No?

Maybe international ball is taking a break for the qualifying tournaments.

Must be something like that. They are having and end of game ceremony for her career accomplishments.

Iowa Freshman Post Czinano hurt her ankle? Not good. Could not put pressure on it.

Just now switching over to this game. That would be awful news for Iowa if she's out. She has been huge for them this year. (She's a sophomore, btw.)

Update. They said she is walking on her own and may be coning back to the bench.

Iowa hasn't lost at home in two years (since 1/28/18). Michigan State leading by 2 heading into 4Q.

Czinano in a boot on the bench.

Iowa on a little run, takes a 4-point lead with just over 4 minutes to play.

It would be highly inappropriate for Iowa's home winning streak to end on the day of Gustafson's jersey retirement.

It's pretty amazing how clutch Iowa has been in so many close game.

Wow. Iowa just blowing MSU out at the end. 68-55 under 2 minutes left. Freshman Warnock and Doyle blitzkrieg

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa on a big run now. Was up 13 a moment ago, now 68-57 w/ 1:32 left.

Who would've guessed they could lose 3 Sr. starters including all time great Gustafson from last year and be right back leading the Big 10 near the midway point?

I definitely didn't see that coming. They really found their new personnel and chemistry fast. Doyle has become a dominant floor leader and a favorite for Big Ten POY. The emergence of Czinano has been critical, but she was injured and didn't play in the 2nd half here. Iowa just continues to roll.

Now with the 2nd longest home winning streak in the country, after Baylor.

74-57 final. Doyle w/ some stat sheet stuffing. 20 points 6 boards 5 assists 7 steals.

I will say, Michigan State has been pretty dreadful at finishing games. I'm recalling collapses in 4th quarters vs. LSU, Florida State, West Virginia, Syracuse, Michigan, Penn State...

A perfect storm, a team that finishes well vs. one that doesn't. Add in Michigan St.'s road woes the last couple years.
