Men?s basketball prediction

Ncaa tournament play is a whole lot different than regular season play. Cinderella teams come every year, not saying we are but anything can happen.

Howland has improved Msu every year so for, I'm happy we are dancing, I like others hope we win some games. Lastly, Msu basketball has been a struggle, for those who think we suck and aren't happy better find another hobby. The Sec has been pretty competitive as for as middle of the pack goes with decent teams. And yes it is all about match ups and of course who gets hot. Lets hope Peters brings his A game, no doubt he is a total mystery of his disappearance lately.

Btw, seems as if Nick is done, if he isn't at the Sec tourney then I'm saying he is.

Looking back at what most consider our best win, wofford. Look at peters' and holman's lines...
Peters: 19 pts 8 assists
Holman: 19 pts 8 reb

Clemson...
Peters: 28 pts 5 assists
Holman: 16 pts. 6 Reb

Cincinnati...
Peters: 14 pts 9 assists
Holman: 7 pts 10 reb

Auburn win...
Peters: 16 pts 10 reb
Holman: 7 pts. 6 reb

Now here's each one's last 5 game avg's...
Peters: 4.2 ppg (21 total) 3.8 assists (19 total)
Holman: 5 ppg (25 total) 3.4 reb (17 total)

Now keep in mind that we lost nick also. Just hard to get real excited when 3 cogs of our team are essentially gone.

ETA... unless peters snaps out of it, there's no way we win a 2nd round game

I agree with you overall, but I will say that Q and Perry have come on strong since most of those wins where Holman and Peters did so much

Perry definetely has picked it up, but Holman still gets approx 20 mins/game (avg of last 5). Imagine if we still got holman's early season type production those 20 mins. And while Q has been great, no one can replace peters' production. He is the key for any type of run imo

That's not just your opinion that's FACTS. I've been saying it more over a year now. Peters is the cog. You know what you're getting from Q, Perry has came along nicely and he's able to give you anywhere from 10-12 pts and he's going have 10 rebs., and Woodard is going be the hardest worker on the court. Getting Peters to 10-12 pts is almost always going to be the difference. Especially if we could get Nick back.
