Michigan State basketball is back at the Breslin Center on Tuesday night in what should be another tough test as they open conference play against Iowa.
The Spartans are rolling to start the year, with a perfect 7-0 start to the year. That quick start includes three wins against ranked opponents, including a convincing double-digit victory over North Carolina last time out on Thanksgiving.

Prepare for this game by checking out the television info and my game prediction below:

If you haven't been paying close attention to the rest of the Big Ten, then you may be surprised to know Iowa is also undefeated and off to a great start to the season. This is a much improved team from last year, and will be a tough test on Tuesday night for the Spartans. I expect this game to be tight throughout, with eventually the Spartans leaning on the Hawkeyes late and using its home crowd to push them over the top. This is yet another tough test for Michigan State, and once again, I think they'll get by with a passing grade.
