As I sat and watched the Iowa vs. Michigan State game Tuesday night, I couldn t help but notice something.
Fran McCaffery is never afraid to got with the hot hand, or in the case of last night, the lineup that was working the best.
Iowa got down early in the first half, 26-15. It was then that McCaffery inserted some of Iowa s super subs into the lineup.
Jack Nunge, Joe Toussaint, Keegan Murray, and
Tony Perkins helped the Hawkeyes storm back and take a 48-43 lead at the half. The defense was tight and in your face. They were athletic and opportunistic on offense. Of course, it helps when you have the likely National Player of the Year on your team too.

His new double album Dangerous set streaming records, and sits atop the Billboard 200 all genre album chart for the second straight week. One thing is for sure, it s the biggest country album of the year. And I m talking size here. Dangerous is whopping 30 tracks long!
