TN v. MI thread

I feel like this team we'll be playing is nowhere near the stature of OSU.. but they can def beat us. we'll have to bring the same effort we did tonight and we should win. Izzo is an outstanding coach though so we'll see what happens

Being an MSU fan this year has been a semi frustrating one for us.... This team can be as good as OSU and is ultra-talented, when they put it all together they can be frightening (the 1st half against NMSU, 33 minutes against maryland when we were up by 16 and cruising) but they seem to have points where they can just lose it..... the main issue this year has been chemistry..... and maybe it is weird, but all the injuries have finally made the players concentrate more on there roles....

that and I think we have the best "2 day turnaround" coach in the nation in Izzo and it should be a good game, there will be a lot more green there on sunday than there was today.....

Also, working on one day to game plan is hard for both.

MSU is very, very good at the turnaround. Few match us. Last weekend MSU players were starting to watch tape and doing walk throughs while Maryland team was still hitting the showers after their first game. :dance2:

I'm just glad it's the second game of the weekend when we face UT. We need every advantage we can get with our injuries.

Is it Sunday yet?

I like this match-up with MSU, whole lot better than Kansas IMO. We can definitely keep our run going.

They scored 59---they will need around 70 to beat us. I just hope our players bring it. We bring it and Izzo cannot coach a win here. A bad effort puts the ball in his court. It would be nice to knock the Final Four monkey off our back so we can start talking about when we win it all.

A couple of things I would just mention...
1) UNI play a completly different tempo.. and have held there last 21 opponents to under 60 points....
2) MSU is a quick tempo team playing in what is basically a slow tempo conference, hence why you saw us put 48 point on maryland in the 1st half of the 2nd round game.... you might want to have a look at that 1st half to see what you may expect to see if that is the game you play.....

Rebounding in this game is going to be super important.... 2nd or 3rd oppotunities in this game are going to be huge!

if chism is going to be play in effect as the big man, then expect to see a lot of Roe/Green/Sherman and Nix on him....
