    Jay Bilas: Michigan State is a blue blood. Thoughts?

    No doubt and I think if the pollsters could redo their rankings factoring in the Langford injury, they would not make MSU #1 but probably top 5 still. MSU losing to MTSU when a lot of people picked them that year will forever haunt me.

    Duke V. Michigan St. Last Year

    That's what Izzo does in November for better or worse. He runs hockey line changes to see what he's got. Irritates a lot of fans but we try to remember it's for the best in the long run.

    Well all those sucky guys are 3 point favorites right now, so you're kinda dissing your own team more.

    Jay Bilas: Michigan State is a blue blood. Thoughts?

    Bilas is being kind because he has a lot of respect for Izzo. I'm an MSU fan and I don't consider them a blue blood, and I would say most of our fan base doesn't either. We can get ourselves there one day, but two national titles isn't enough, and only one of those was with Izzo, and even then...

    UK VS Michigan State spread

    Kansas might be better on paper, but Duke seems to come out the gate firing on all cylinders most years, and I'm just not sure where the KU's players heads are at right now with these impending NCAA allegations hanging over their heads like a dark cloud...

    Except for Loyer. He does kinda suck.

    Most of those guys are just inexperienced. I didn't say all those guys were gonna torch UK, just responding to your post that said we only play 7.

    Watts is a guy I think we need to get some contributions from to win this game, but he looked real shaky in our exhibition. But maybe he's one of those guys that needs a big time opponent in primetime to get motivated to play well. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

    The Duke box score doesn't mean much for tomorrow. MSU will definitely play more than 7 guys against UK. I expect Winston/Tillman/Henry/Ahrens/Brown/Watts/Hall/Kithier/Bingham/Loyer to all get SOME amount of meaningful minutes tomorrow. Perhaps Marble too.

    Tillman is really good defensively. On offense, he's not a guy that's going to torch you or anything. He tends to "manufacture" points. A tip in here, a putback there, runs the floor well and scores a lot in transition, really hard to keep off the glass. He's not a a very smooth low post scorer...

    Duke V. Michigan St. Last Year

    Winston and Tillman were by far our best players in that game, as should be the case in most games this year. We were in the danger zone down 9 points in the first half with about 5 minutes left until Winston started to take over, scoring 9 points and dishing 2 assists to take a 4 point lead...

    MSU game/ expectations

    Could one of you please summarize what you think your strengths & weaknesses will be headed into this game? TIA. I don't mean specifically vs MSU, just in general.

    "I think tempo is the key to the game.If we can get into a transition game the big green meanies will have a difficult time keeping up with us.If they can force a half court game we may not have the patience and discipline (yet) to play that game." Man, I feel like it's been 15 years or so, and...
