RE: ***Official Memphis vs Michigan State NCAA 3rd Round Game Thread***
So.... if anyone here has watched MSU this year, how do we matchup? Is this a decent draw matchup-wise, or does this team play a style likely to frustrate us? Obviously, I realize that they're a very good team, I'm just talking about how the styles and strengths/weaknesses of both teams match up.

They love to play Man and very little are no zone. They have 3 McDonalds AA at both guard spots and at the SF. Size at both PF and Center positions. Pretty tough team.

I'm worried about foul trouble in this game.

Good luck to the tigers. Mr. MVP will have to be extremely active to get the win today.

History is certainly on our side. We match up well with Sparty. They have an advantage down low, but I think we have the superior guard play. If we can stay out of foul trouble (Tarik and Shaq mostly), and our guards play like they have all season, it will be a great game we can win.

If there 2 bigs get in foul trouble. they only have 2 plodders that average lets than 2 points per game. Hall and Simpson look like ultra starters compared to them. If we stay defensively focus and are knocking down the 3 ball, our speed, quickness and athleticism will close it out.

This is a special team, folk...The fruits from this team have not been harvest yet. There is not one team in america that has 4 members of a team that has won a national AAU title on it.
Mix in 2 X factors in GJ and DJ plus Shaq
The Tigers ain't done Yet.

Checking out KenPom stats...

MSU is #255 out of 347 teams in Adj. Tempo, and Memphis is #31.

by the numbers, anyway, it appears they like to play slower and will try to make the game about half court sets. Anyone watched them to verify if that is the case?

If so, dictating tempo with defense, quickness in transition, etc. will be a key to the game today.

From what I could tell watching them against Valpo, they try to get out and run as well. They like to feed the big men and count on them to get offensive boards when their guards miss.

Our guys aren't scared of anyone. You have to like that in a team, especially when viewed as the underdog. Regardless of the result today, we know our team did everything they could to win.

LGT!

Interesting. Valpo is a pretty slow-to-middling team, too... Adj. T of 184
