if we play right, we are gonna beat Michigan State by 10+

I'm calling it.

[Joebob]

I'll be very surprised if we do that. Don't underestimate Rizzo coached teams. He's been around the block a few times.

[KOdawg1]

I'm ready

[Offshore Dawg]

based on what ?

[cheewgumm]

I think we are way too big and physical for them.

In general I think we will simply overmatch them physically.

[CaptainObvious]

Depends on the type of refs we get. If they love hockey on a basketball court, Mississippi St. should be in great shape.

I'll be very surprised if we do that. Don't underestimate Rizzo coached teams. He's been around the block a few times.

Out of the 25 times Izzo has been to the tournament, he?s been knocked out in the first round only 5 times. Im ready to make it the 6th time Izzo heads home on day 1

I do not like playing a legendary coach who is known to own March. When looking at their schedule, yes they lost some games, but they also played a very tough schedule and didn't lose by much and beat some good teams. Almost every loss was to a tourney team. Would love to see us win this game...we'll need to play D like we did in the SECT

[Commercecomet24]

I hope the refs let 'em play. This will be football on a basketball court and will be fun to watch. Lot of physicality by both teams!

[basedog]

I can't see this team being intimated about Izzo or Michigan State. Gotta shoot the basketball and defend especially the 3-point line. Ft's have been our weakness, shoot 70% and I see us playing in the next round against NC.

[Kingbarkus]

Anyone who shoots free throws as poorly as us and turns the ball over should never feel comfortable.

[PMDawg]

I expect it to be a 1 to 3 possession game in either direction.

[dawgday166]

Anyone who shoots free throws as poorly as us and turns the ball over should never feel comfortable.

This is our big time Achilles heel. This probably cost us 4 or 5 games. And I'm sure Izzo is aware of that.
