Tom Izzo shuffling starting lineup against Iowa, Marcus Bingham and Foster Loyer to start

Tom Izzo continues to search for answers to fix his sliding Michigan State basketball team, and will try out a new lineup tonight against Iowa. Marcus Bingham and Foster Loyer will get the nod at center and point guard, respectively, with a new look for the Spartans against Iowa.

This will likely make the lineup:

  • PG Foster Loyer
  • SG Joshua Langford (or Rocket Watts)
  • SF Aaron Henry
  • PF Joey Hauser
  • C Marcus Bingham

The big move here will be the removal of Thomas Kithier from the lineup. Kithier is a solid player who excels at doing ‘the little things’ but his continued role as a starter has frustrated fans as the team continues to slide. He provides little-to-no rim protection and scoring, two things the team has lacked over this tough stretch of games.

Loyer will be the latest player to get a shot at point guard, after Rocket Watts and AJ Hoggard failed to turn the team’s fortunes around.
