Tom Izzo and Michigan State basketball are creeping back into the national conversation just in time for March Madness.

The Spartans’ last month — which consists of wins in eight of their last 10 games — has put Izzo’s team back on the national stage after dropping out of the rankings early this season. Michigan State received 23 votes in this week’s USA TODAY Coaches Poll and is in a three-way tie for third place in the Big Ten standings, with Northwestern and Wisconsin.

Michigan State, currently a projected 7 seed in Joe Lunardi’s latest NCAA Tournament projection, leads the all-time series against Iowa 77-59. However, the Hawkeyes have won four of the last five meetings, including last year’s 112-106 overtime victory in Iowa City.

The Spartans will have their hands full Tuesday with the Hawkeyes’ offense, which ranks 13th in adjusted offensive efficiency on KenPom. Behind senior guard Tony Perkins, Iowa is averaging 83.7 points per game, which ranks second in the Big Ten and 14th nationally.

Iowa has won three of its last five games heading into Tuesday’s meeting, with losses coming to Penn State and Maryland. The Hawkeyes most recently beat then-No. 20 Wisconsin on Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, their first-ranked win of the season.
