Well, the good news is that it’s not Saturday anymore, and Iowa can no longer hurt the Spartans.

After giving up a double digit lead with less than a minute to play in regulation, only to lose in overtime to the Hawkeyes, Michigan State has to be happy that the Big Ten schedule makers blessed them with a trip to Lincoln immediately afterward. Nebraska is in the midst of one of their better seasons in some time, yet they are still near the bottom of the Big Ten standings over Ohio State and Minnesota.

Even though the Iowa disaster stung, stings, and will sting any time the Spartans think about it, I think the best option is to just not think about it - Iowa was white hot from three late in the going, MSU made plenty of mistakes on the defensive end of the floor, leaving Iowa shooters somewhat open, but Iowa made those shots.
