Closing time. IU last made FG was with 3:14 left and made the score 61-52. Since then, we have missed the front end of a one and one twice. Missed another free throw and made another. Also a couple turnovers. Score now 62-60. Woof!
IU trades free throws. Going to the line up 64-62. 22 seconds left. But free throws and likely win. Miss, well….
IU misses another feee throw and makes the other. Up 3 and fouls. 65-62. Sparty going to the line with 15 seconds left. Anyone believing IU wins?
Mgbacko hits both free throws. Up 65-62 with 13 seconds remaining. Sparty calls TO and will draw up a 3 to extend game. I guess IU fouls to minimize to 1 point game and go back to FT line to seal it.
IU fouls. Sparty hits both FT’s. IU with ball up 1 and 9 seconds left. Can they close and win it?
Sparty fouls. Mgbacko guts both. Back to a 3 point advantage at 69-66.n Sparty ball down 3 with 9’secimds remaining.
IU fouls. Sparty goes to line. Hits first and misses second. Leal going to the line up 2. Make both and win the game.
I hardly ever liked Izzo’s teams. For most the epitome of Big 10 ball. Keep it physical, keep it ugly, and bang. I will be glad when he is gone.
He certainly doesn’t have much less than he started with…
