'Like an ambush': Spartans run off the floor against No. 25 Hawkeyes

Iowa City, Iowa – It’s starting to become difficult to come up with ways to describe Michigan State these days.

After Tuesday night’s loss to Iowa, another clunker that saw the Spartans get run off the court, 86-60, and lose their fifth in the last six games, there were several shots at labeling what took place at a raucous Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

“It felt more like an ambush,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo offered.

Junior captain Malik Hall simply said it was, “embarrassing.”

Yes, it was both as Michigan State scored the first two points of the game then promptly gave up a 13-2 run that flipped control of the game before most of the fans had a chance to settle in.
