No. 8 Michigan State clinched a share of the Big Ten regular-season championship Wednesday without stepping on the court. The Spartans can win it outright Thursday with a victory over Iowa in Iowa City.
Second-place Michigan took a 71-65 home loss Wednesday night to Maryland to ensure the Spartans (24-5, 15-3 Big Ten) will own at least half of their first conference title since 2019-20.
The Spartans carry a five-game winning streak into Iowa City, with the last four coming against Top 20 opponents.
However, they are well aware the Hawkeyes (15-14, 6-12) could slow their momentum.
"It's Senior Night, they got some good seniors that have been there. Michigan State comes in, and we understand it's a big game," Izzo said. "We understand that there's pressure on them, pressure on us. That's the nature of the beast, so we're excited and ready to go."
Iowa, which hasn't played since a 68-57 loss at Northwestern on Friday, got off to a 12-4 start but has since gone 3-10.
