Fortunately Msu is the least physical I’ve ever seen them so that helps a lot. Guards seem to be calming down, but seeing Young get these many minutes is painful to watch. He’s just not a high-caliber post player.

I thought Stewart was playing good when he got in . In this game I think Foster and MCCain are 1 for five . McCain has half the turn overs he does as shots attempted.

A lot to grow off of win or lose this game .

Dude I used to think you were overreacting with Grandison, but I now have this with Young. It’s painful watching him.

I don’t get the negativity thrown at Young. We all know he’s not athletic. But he brings a little stability when out there. I know Michigan St is really struggling, but we didn’t lose ground when Young went in for Flip.

Young needs to be in the game now. We forget quickly he takes up space. He can get that extra 50/50 rebound. Flip is in there alone. He does not have that energy.

Nice to watch a game where the players aren’t out to beat up each other. Now they’re not shooting well, but at least they play fairly.

Michigan St started hitting shots but this is reverse of the Arizona game and our guards have disappeared badly.

Not sure McCain should start in prime games .

Happy for Young and Foster. Super early but we kind of needed this. Flip with another good game, as always. Mitchell getting healthy is big as well. Foster is our secret weapon. Enjoy him while you can. Proctor needs to find his shot.

Ryan is holding down the fort til the other guys are ready. Like he did last year. Reeves and Stewart will get there, but they both have a ways to go. They can play more the next few games.

Got alot of work to do, but a W is a W! I'll take it.

Foster absolutely balled and I feel so comfortable whenever Roach has the ball.

Ryan had a better game, but I sincerely hope Jon is only using him because it's early in the year. He severely limits us.
It's about matchups. Ryan can get you a solid 7 to 10 rbs depending on the opponent. Reeves and Steward will get there. Ryan is familiar with MSU.
