No. 24 Iowa snapped their three-game skid with a win on Sunday against Purdue, 83-76. Senior guard Roy Devyn Marble continues to lead the team in scoring with 17.9 points per game, and he accounted for 21 points in Sunday's win.
"He's carrying this team. His consistency is amazing at both ends of the floor. He doesn't rattle," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said, via ESPN. "I think what you're seeing is a guy that is playing with a great level of confidence due to the fact that he's taking full advantage of his experience."
No. 22 Michigan State, meanwhile, has struggled since the start of February. The Spartans (22-7) lost five of their last eight games, including two straight. Their latest defeat came on Saturday against Illinois, 53-46.
"The team has been through a lot, but I didn't see this coming," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "There's no excuse for that. We practiced harder than they played. Like I said, I'll throw myself under the bus - that's inexcusable, ridiculous. There are just too many things these guys have had to go through, so maybe a slap in the face is good for us."
Senior forward Adreian Payne, who returned almost a month ago after suffering a right foot sprain, isn't dwelling on the past and is instead focusing on what's ahead of them.
"We've got to start over," Payne said. "We've got to focus on what we can control and use the past to motivate us."
