In two games against Iowa this season, Costello averaged 16.0 points and 8.0 rebounds. Denzel Valentine returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 19 at Northeastern. Iowa s 10 3-pointers marked a season high for a Spartan opponent. MSU entered the contest ranked third in the nation in 3FG% defense (.264). Iowa held a decisive 17-3 edge in points off turnovers, including a 17-0 margin in the first half. Michigan State held a advantage in points in the paint. QUOTE (Iowa) dictated the whole game, and we were just on our heels the whole game. And when you re on your heels and the other team knows it, they just keep attacking. And that s just what they did. -- MSU senior Denzel Valentine Denzel Valentine hit a 3-pointer on the game s first possession, but Iowa responded with five straight points. Leading midway through the first half, Iowa used a 10-0 run to take a controlling advantage. By halftime, the Hawkeye lead stood at a comfortable 22 points (47-25). Iowa s first-half performance was impressive, shooting 9-of-15 from 3-point range, but the Spartans also played a role in their own demise, committing 14 first-half turnovers, including 12 in the first 12 minutes. Michigan State was never able to mount a serious threat in the second half due to cold shooting, hitting just 2-of-12 shots from behind the 3-point arc.

Michigan State is averaging 21.1 assists, ranking second in the nation, recording an assist on 372 of 516 field goals (72.1 percent). Last season, MSU established a school single-season record with 646 assists, leading the Big Ten and ranking fifth in the nation with 16.6 per contest. In , MSU tallied 637 assists, a total that was a school record at the time, until last year s squad surpassed it. The Spartans led the Big Ten and ranked sixth in the nation in with 16.8 per contest. Last year, MSU recorded an assist on 63.7 percent of its baskets. Defensive Effort Although Coach Izzo would like to see improvement, statistically Michigan State has proven to be a strong defensive team in The Spartans rank in the Top 15 nationally in scoring defense (14th, 61.9), field-goal percentage defense (4th,.364) and 3-point fieldgoal percentage defense (7th,.277). Just seven teams have shot better than 40 percent from the field and just five have bettered 35 percent behind the 3-point arc. Making The Most Of An Opportunity Junior Eron Harris took advantage of his time in the starting lineup as he started five games in place of an injured Denzel Valentine. In games against Oakland, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Penn State, Harris averaged 16.8 points, shooting.500 from the field and averaging 6.0 foul shots per game. Spartan Comebacks Michigan State has shown the ability to overcome adversity during the season, as the Spartans have overcome double-figure deficits in three victories. MSU trailed Oakland by a season-high 15 points in the first half, and also trailed Kansas and Louisville by 13 points in the first half. Improved Foul Shooting Michigan State ranks fifth in the Big Ten and 77th in the nation in free-throw percentage, shooting.721 from the foul line. While that percentage isn t overly impressive, it s certainly an improvement over last season when MSU ranked 330th in the nation, shooting 63.2 percent from the charity stripe.

7 Bryn Forbes ranks 13th in the nation in 3-point field-goal percentage valentine s continual improvement Denzel Valentine has become argubably the nation s top player through hard work and constant improvement each and every year. His scoring, rebounding and assists numbers have risen each season, while his assist-to-turnover ratio and 3-point shooting have also shown great improvement. PPG RPG APG 3FG% A/TO Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Forbes For Three Senior Bryn Forbes is proving to be one of top shooters in the country. For his career, he s made 263-of-619 attempts from behind the arc, good for a.425 shooting percentage. He s made a 3-pointer in 107 of 121 career games, including in 15 of 18 contests this season. He s opened by making 51-of-107 (.477), ranking 13th in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage. Forbes has made three or more 3-pointers in 11 games and ranks tied for third in the Big Ten in 3-point field goals made (2.8). Tum Tum Takes Care of the Ball Michigan State point guard Tum Tum Nairn Jr. isn t known for his scoring, but he s earned the right to be the Spartans starting point guard with his leadership, defense and ability to take care of the ball. With 81 assists and just 17 turnovers on the season, he ranks fifth in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio (4.8). In the last 15 games, he has posted a 5.6 assist-to-turnover ratio (73 assists, 13 turnovers). He committed just six turnovers in seven games in the month of December. Schilling Starts Gavin Schilling has started the last four games for the Spartans, averaging 8.3 points and 4.3 rebounds, shooting.737 (14-19) from the field and a perfect (5-5) from the foul line, in 16.3 minutes per contest. Schilling missed the first 11 games of the season due to a turf toe injury (right foot) suffered in the second exhibition contest of the season. Last year, he started 33 games as a sophomore. Coach Izzo has said that he was MSU s best big man and second-best player on MSU s summer trip to Italy where he averaged 13.3 points and 7.0 rebounds.

Izzo became the 91st coach in history to record 500 career wins, with at least 10 seasons in Division I, and just the eighth coach to accomplish the feat in his first 21 seasons. Izzo also became the 18th coach to win 500 career games in his first collegiate head coaching stop, and was the eighth-fastest coach to reach 500 wins among those who did it all at one school, accomplishing the feat in 699 career games.

Spartan Depth Nine Spartans average double-figure minutes, while 11 average more than eight minutes, and 13 average more than seven minutes. MSU has needed its depth as Gavin Schilling (turf toe), Marvin Clark Jr. (foot) and Denzel Valentine (knee) have each missed time due to injury. The Spartans have had their full allotment of scholarship players available for just three games this season. Double-Double Threats Three different Spartans have recorded a double-double this season. Denzel Valentine has two triple-doubles (vs. Kansas and Boston College), and two double-doubles (vs. Binghamton and UMES), while Matt Costello (vs. UAPB, Oakland and Minnesota) has three double-doubles and Deyonta Davis (vs. Florida Atlantic) has one.

In games in which he has played, Valentine has either made or assisted on 43.8 percent of MSU s field goals, including 45.8 percent in games which he has started. He also boasts a career-best 2.6 assist-to-turnover ratio. From Beyond the Arc Michigan State currently ranks fourth in the Big Ten, shooting.384 from behind the arc, led by Bryn Forbes at.477, as nine different Spartans have made a 3-pointer. MSU ranks eighth in the Big Ten in 3-point field goals made (136, 7.6 pg). The Spartans made pointers last year, which ranked second in school history, behind only the squad (307 3-pointers). An Impressive Debut Deyonta Davis became just the third Spartan freshman to post a double-double in his debut, totaling 13 points and 11 rebounds, joining Derrick Nix and Matt Steigenga. Davis also blocked five shots, the most ever in a Spartan freshman debut. The 11 rebounds are the second-most ever in an MSU freshman debut. Triple-Double Trouble Denzel Valentine recorded a triple-double against Kansas in the Champions Classic (29 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists), joining Earvin Johnson (eight), Draymond Green (three) and Charlie Bell (one) as the only Spartans to accomplish the feat.
