MSU Blows Out Iowa 71-52

December 2, 2025: Michigan State opened up Big Ten play in East Lansing against the Iowa Hawkeyes and their new head coach, Ben McCollum and won 71-52 The win moves MSU to 8-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play in the young season. It was a game that MSU controlled from about the 6 minute mark after completing a 13-0 run to knock the Hawkeyes out of the game.

Probably the biggest key to the Spartans’ success in the game was the performance of Jeremy Fears, Jr. in running the offense and defending Iowa point guard, Bennett Stirtz. Stirtz looked rattled in the first half missing all but one of this field goal attempts and only 1 of 4 from the free throw line. Additionally, Michigan State crushed the Hawkeyes on the boards pulling down 56% of their misses and had a 21-6 edge in second chance points.

So now the Spartans await the arrival of Duke on Saturday in what will be the last high major team they will face (aside from Penn State on the road) before the calendar changes.
