The Basketball world was turned upside Down…  Welcome to Crazy town….
What a Twisted Saturday…

Purdue Beat Ohio State… 
Michigan Beat NorthWestern…
Texas lost to Missouri…..
Oral Roberts snuck by Oakland's Golden Grizzlies….
Cincinnati beat Villanova…..
And …. The worst result of the night….
Iowa Beat The Spartans….  43 – 36   (Can you believe it…?)


You know that old Saying..   How fast to have to run if your chased by a Bear.. Only faster than the next guy…  Iowa didn’t play a great game.. just better than the Spartans… And thats all it took....

The Spartans played Lethargic, shots were off Balance, Rebounds were weak, Basic Layups were off the Mark, they were traveling, Giving the Ball Away.... it was the worst game I have seen them play since last March…. no Focus, Concentration, or Playing with Intention….
 
The Horror.. The Horror…

Spartans shot only 16 for 52…, made 18 turnovers…  Neitzel was 4 – 14, Lucas was 0 – 8, Morgan was 5 – 12…  Iowa was just as bad… Are they playing to the level of their competition ???  The Beer was the only thing keeping me from throwing a Brick through the TV..... Damn, they were BAD...
