Who's Familiar With Michigan State?

[OklahomaLibertarian]

Never seen em' play this year. Are they like OU was under Sampson? Tough defense.. rebounding.. well coached? That's what I think of when I think of Izzo

Yes all the above! Very tough!

Najera said we're gonna pound that Sparty.

They look a lot like us. They're a little bigger inside and smaller on the perimeter. Tough defense and they love to push the ball up the court after misses. It should be a really good game but I think we've got a really good shot.

Michigan State will be a really tough out. I love that we've made it this far and I want it to continue, but this may be the toughest game of the season. Tom Izzo's teams always have that tournament pedigree even after they've had poor regular seasons.

only thing i notice is that they don't have as many big guys on their roster than they normally do. Valentine and Hield will be a heck of a matchup

Peaking right now..should be a great ball game

 

[NickZepp]

I think we are better, but they play a lot like we do. Not quite as consistent as we have been. But this will be a battle.

Trice and valentine are ballers, but we should win this assuming we come out and play our game. Play 40 minute like we played the first 10 tonight.

Kenpom.com has us as a 54% favorite to win, 68-67.

That would be nice to see. Haven't put an entire game together in a while.

Sparty is always tough, they control tempo and defend, defend, defend.

It'll be a tough battle, what I like is that OU hasn't played their best game yet in tournament. They'll need it against MSU.

Dawson's very good also.

We owe them for the Mateen Cleeves game.

Tom Izzo in March is all you need to know.

I haven't watched them this year but every year they are the same under Izzo. Big, tough and hard to beat. Play physical and make the other team beat them. I expect nothing less.

They aren't as big as I years past, but still have 2 that are 6'9" and 2 that are 6'7"
