MSU Game tomorrow

Well, we can hope to steal a road game sometime this season, but not sure it will happen at MSU. Checked out their schedule thus far, and they beat Texas, lost to Maryland as we did, and lost to Boston College, Iowa and Indiana on the road. Hard to say this game can be won based on MSU's record, but you never know.

Seems like we need to play fewer guards (2 rather than 3), since our guards have struggled in the scoring department and the rebounding has been poor lately. Most scoring has been coming from our big guys, so they need to have another good game. It would help if McBride plays well again and Jamar Smith gets his shooting touch back. Sounds like Frazier will be out and I don't think Meacham is the answer as starting point guard. I would not mind seeing Smith and McBride play both guard positions most of this game.

MSU's main scorer is Drew Neitzel, their 6' Junior point guard who averages 18 points per game these day. Seems like we will need to have someone really play him tough to have a chance, though he is very consistent scoring in double figures. The scoring averages drop off after Neitzel.
