​On Friday night, Michigan State basketball beat Northern Iowa by 34 points in the Breslin Center. However, the score might have ended up lopsided, but Northern Iowa gave the Spartans their best shot and threw a few haymakers, along with a lot of fouls, as they competed against one of the top teams in the country at home.After the game, Northern Iowa head coach Kyle Green was in a bit of a rush as his team has a game on Saturday night against Oakland, but he did take some time to talk with Cole Blair of PantherFanatic.com about the game. You can see some of his key quotes about Michigan State below:”It’s Michigan State; they’re really good. They have a chance to win a national championship… They’ve done it to everyone they’ve played at home here.””Our game plan going in was to guard them inside out. It was to take away the paint as much as possible. To their credit, they hit outside shots with different guys.””We fouled a lot too, and we have to learn from that. There’s a fine line between physicality and fouling… Obviously keeping them off the glass… It made for a very choppy game.””I was really happy with how we competed.”You can listen to his whole postgame interview here.Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWireon X, and like our page onFacebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes, and opinion.
