Michigan State 74, Memphis 92 (Final)

[BB73]

Two of Dickie V's paisans, Izzo and Calipari.

Though Memphis showed they could bang yesterday, I'm going with Izzo and the points.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

MSU has the front court depth and D to pull off an upset here...

 

[Ttown]

Buh Bye Sparty! they don't have the horses to run with Memphis.

 

[LitlBuck]

Izzo might be the better coach but Memphis is just too talented for MSU and if the Spartans try to run it could get ugly.

 

[Best Buckeye]

I gotta go with Memphis. They will run Izzo into the ground.

Memphis has can wear Sparty down with their depth. Not getting killed on the glass is going to be the key for MSU.

Make them make foul shots. They will fall. I think Memphis is the worst 1 seed anyway.

Memphis did not lose much from last year and look how far they went plus they have added two very good freshman to supplement what they had coming back. I see them beating MSU but sooner or later the foul shooting will do them in.

 

[BB73]

Bump for game tonight.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Go Sparty.

 

[LitlBuck]

While I want the Big 10 teams to win in the tournament, I just think Memphis has too many weapons for Sparty. Now if Dorsey gets in early foul trouble, I think the whole game changes.

 

[OH10]

If Michigan State goes cold or turns the ball over too many times, this game could get ugly.

However, if the Spartans play like they have since losing in the Schott (absent the second half against Wisky), they should win this game. Memphis is undisciplined and entirely overrated. Force them to make jumpers and get Dorsey in foul trouble. And if it's a close game at the end, go with the Hack-a-Shaq or Hack-a-Ben strategy.... only you get to choose amongst the entire Memphis team.

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

Sparty is getting owned in the face.

Ah well, B11 had another good run.

 

[Best Buckeye]

Sparty down by 30 at the half .
