Make no mistake, if Michigan State were to take down Duke they'd be the team I'm rooting against the hardest left in the tournament.
**** rat face
You get one pass and one shot. After that, you are an enemy once more.
Why does it seem like MSU always loses to Duke or is that a misconception?
Cassius Winston will torment Jones, Michigan State will have major problems with Barrett, even more than Zion..
McQuaid was all big the first team defense let’s see how he does vs Barrett. But yes—Winston needs to have his way with Jones for us to win.
MSU has some big body guys and they need to dominate the rebounds to win, they also need to make Duke shoot threes.
Cause Tubster screwed up. He should have sent him in after the 2nd Rondo FT put us up 4. A rebound on their next trip (they got 3 chances before Shannon Brown's 3) would have won the game.Yep. I remember watching that game with my old college buddies. They were rooting for MSU and I was trying to tell them we matched up better with Duke. That game scarred me for years. WHY WAS CHUCK ON THE BENCH IN OT?!?
If you take away their drives and transition then it would take an unusually good three pt shooting night for the to win. They could do that but the odds are against it, meaning their perimeter shooting isn’t a detriment (you’re right) but it’s not enough to carry them.I think Duke is much better at 3's than everyone thinks. Part early going, and part jack whites atrocious slump. But every time they need a big 3, Tre Jones and Zion seem to knock them down.

Our game plan will be to limit their transition and make it a half court game. Turn it into a 3 point shooting contest ideally. I was surprised how bad LSUs 3 point defense was. We hit a lot but had so many open looks.
We will sag off of Barrett, Jones and Zion.
Beat that Rat. If you don't we will !!!!!!!!!!!!rat face
Soon to be 2-11, I like to think positive!Cuz Izzo is 1-11 vs rat face :grimace:
"SpartanJD"We have to beat Auburn. First things first.
they have had some really good shooting games against teams that played them soft on the perimeter, like Kentucky and Virginia.Our game plan will be to limit their transition and make it a half court game.

DeLaurier and Bolden are zeros right now.

I don’t really think Marques Bolden has any business being in the floor because of his knee, but he’s the only credible center Duke has to guard Ward. Ward should have a field day.

Zion didn’t want to be dragged out there at the end! Fat *** was tired of chasing!Yup I think we will run a ton of high ball screen with Tillman and if Zion guards Goins which he will Goins will drag him to the perimeter.
Congrats SpartanJD just wish we were joining the party, good luck down the road; anybody but an ACC team!Nice! :cool2:[cheers]
