No.Iowa/Mich.St.

[back east bum]

I'll just start by saying I like No.Iowa in this matchup.
Mich.St. really surprised me the last 2 games as I did not think they had the offence to win either of those games. What I did see was an offence that was definatly better in the up tempo games. N.Mex St. and Maryland like to play in the up tempo and could not slow MSU down and when they did miss a shot they got the offensive rebound. When they did not run their offence was not as good in the half court game.
Tonite they plat a different animal in No.Iowa who will slow it down run lots of plays and have the bigs to give MSU fits inside. N.Iowa showed they were fearless against Kansas and played to win the game as opposed to some teams that are scared in that situation.
We all know the injury situation and 2 other players for MSU are basnged up also.
Keep in mind that if this comes down to a last second shot Msu will win as I am 0-6 in these NCAA's on teams pulling it out on whoever I'm betting on!!!
Good Luck on whoever your on!!!

No team will ever enter a game playing scared in this tournement, they are all tere to win it all, doesnt matter who they face, but some teams will go into a game overconfident and not prepared, thats what happened to Kansas. This Michigam State team is pretty much the same team that eliminated last years great teams of Louisville and Uconn, and then just ran out of gas, the loss of Lucas will hurt of course but they will get by this team, i learned my lesson with Cornell last night, some of these teams are just athletically and physically overmatched, Im taking MSU -2 +110, too greedy to pay the juice.
