This game will come down to two issues:
1. Who has the fewer turnovers because it will ignite the offense for the other team.
2. Rebounds (especially by our guards). MSU is a tyrant on the boards and has always prided itself on dominating the boards. We have been huge so far on the boards and it was a considerable factor in our win at Duke. Who is going to win the glass?

Take the over. This is going to be a fast played game.

Toughest team wins. I think that’s us.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

This reminds me of that Miller quote about tough teams and how "nastiness is required". Ironically this team feels tougher and nastier than any Miller team. And I don't mean to slam Sean, I just think Tommy has found a way to excel with the mindset Sean wanted our teams to have.

All that is just a long way of saying I like our chances tomorrow.

Crap! the game is on Fox?? I don't think I can get Fox - My Sling doesn't get it, and I don't have a local antenna!

Any way we'll get a view through this site??

Spartans will be up for this one. Their season’s off to a rocky start, and they need quality wins.

Still, it’s gonna be a heavily Arizona crowd, and our team is rolling.

No Cameron Crazies this game, but Sparty will play harder.

Can't complain with an early lead. But I hope we can tighten up our transition defense.

Yup, they beat us down the court twice and bad.

I hope Caleb forgets how to shoot from the perimeter and just lives off a steady diet of paint and steals.
