Quick Hit

The B1G tournament isn't making it easy for anyone to watch the games.  MSU plays Iowa today at noon.  This is a winnable game, but Iowa can sneak up on you.  The thing to watch here is how the Spartans respond after loosing a battle against OSU and seeing Branden Dawson go down with a season ending injury.  (the same knee that was injured against UNC I believe).  If MSU comes out and hammers Iowa that is a good sign.  If we have to sneak out this win, theres no way we win the next tournament game. 

Who is going to step up in Dawson's absence?  Kearney will get a lot more burn now, but I don't fully trust him on offense.  Bryd should also play a bit more but I don't really trust him on defense - though the last few games his shot has been pure, and falling.    If Trice is finally 100% after re-aggravating his ankle in practice that will take a lot of pressure off of Appling, who can play the 2 more and concentrate more on defense as well.

The Spartans need to remember what got them to this record.  Hard defense and Rebounding.  Keep that up and we still have pieces to make a run. 

Enjoy not watching the game everyone, unless of course you can watch it at work, or you dont have a job.

Pat any thoughts on UM?
