But sixth-ranked Michigan State had the necessary toughness, blowing past the upstart Hawkeyes in a vintage Tom Izzo performance on the road.
A look at the upcoming week around the Big Ten:
No matchup engendered skepticism of Iowa quite like its 90-68 loss at Michigan State in early December.
Aaron Henry made the most of his opportunity to play in place of injured starter Joshua Langford.
Four nights after Tom Izzo called out Cassius Winston for his poor play, the Spartans' star point guard responded.
Michigan State University's Board of Trustees will seek to oust interim President John Engler if he doesn't resign amid criticism of comments he has made about victims of imprisoned ex-sports medicine doctor Larry Nassar, a trustee said Wednesday.
Tom Izzo wasn't impressed. The Spartans built a big lead early and dominated at times in the paint in their 71-56 win on Sunday. From Izzo's standpoint, that's all they did well and that won't be enough for the Spartans to be the team they want to be.
Cassius Winston began with a 16-plus-minute scoreless stretch but finished with 23 points, helping the Spartans pull away to beat the Boilermakers 77-59 on Tuesday night.
The Spartans have surged to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 with eight straight victories, including an 86-77 win against then-No. 14 Ohio State on the road Saturday.
Young was the Heisman Trophy runner-up and led the Longhorns to the 2005 national championship with a memorable performance in the Rose Bowl against Southern California. Ismail, better known as Rocket, was an electric receiver and kick returner for the Fighting Irish and the Heisman runner-up in 1990.
Cassius Winston scored 25 points, Nick Ward added 21 and No. 8 Michigan State extended its unbeaten streak to eight games with an 86-77 victory over No. 14 Ohio State on Saturday.
No. 2 Michigan (13-0, 2-0) has won 27 of its last 28, with the loss being the 2018 national championship game against Villanova.
Michigan State played most of the second half without defensive end Kenny Willekes, who suffered a broken left fibula in the third quarter. Willekes led the Spartans with 8 ½ sacks this season.
Michigan State's Run D vs. Oregon's offense. The Spartans rank first among FBS teams in run defense, allowing just 81.3 yards per game.
Starting the season, only three Big Ten teams were in AP's Top 25, but now the league has six. That's at big deal, especially because the Big Ten increased the number of conference games.
