Sometimes you can get too emotional for a game and not as focused. Hopefully, it works out for us but should go down to whoever has the ball last. 

Completely agree, too many variables for tomorrow, I’m thinking IU wins in a close one or they lose by 10+. We shall see what happens tomorrow!

I hate saying this but I will anyway. 

I'm worried they get a friendly whistle during an emotional game. 

Of course they'll get a friendly whistle it's a road game in the Big 1.o. That matters very little. What matters is if we curl up and take it or we overcome it. We haven't done well initially fighting through it. I'm certain we'll get another chance on the road tomorrow.

Keeping scorebook for my high school tomorrow night so can't watch live.  IU is 4-0 in previous games where this has occurred.

Unofficial Depth/injury report

Michigan State is 10-2 at the Breslin Center went a close loss to Purdue last month and a December loss to Northwestern. They are currently 4-2 at home in B10 play. Starting off, 6’9 220 F Joey Hauser (Team’s leading scorer and primary 3-point threat), 6’9 240 C Mandy Sissoko (Lives underneath the basket, 2nd in team rebound and 1st in blocks), 6’4 210 G AJ Hoggard (Does a lot of things for MSU, he is their glue guy), 6’4 190 G Jaden Akins (Very underrated player, scoring has increased drastically, had 15 points in the first matchup) and 6’1 180 G Tyson Walker (Very efficient player, and averaging around 13.7 PPG). Over the last few games, a majority of the starters have been playing for about 32+ minutes in their games, especially the more quality games I have seen. They foul a lot too averaging around 17 fouls, and turns it over around 11 times per game. Seems like they give up around 6 steals a game, but does shoot 36.7% 3FG in Conference play. But when they click, it’s tough to beat them. They are desperate for this one.
 

MSU primarily plays around 7-8 deep during games, especially in conference play. The main rotation players coming off the bench is now 6’8 220 F Malik Hall (9.0 PPG, was a starter, he has been dealing with ankle problems the entire season), 6’9 240 F/C Jaxon Kohler (3.4 ppg, had some early success against us), and 6’6 220 G Pierre Brooks (4.3 PPG, kept fouling in our game). 
 

6’11 230 C Carson Cooper and 6’2 180 G Tre Holloman occasionally will come off the bench.

Thanks! I try to make above 90% confidence when I make them. Usually scout a team before a game to see anything important. And of course ravaging through other team’s boards getting tidbits and what not. I removed the last meeting it seems like once Hoggard/Hauser comes out the game, MSU struggles a lot. But having Malik Hall coming off bench has been a blessing for MSU, since some believed his season was done.

One of the recurring themes MSU fans have been saying on their boards is that their Forwards (except Hauser) and Centers should be playing in the MAC and their guard play has been average for the most part for a MSU team.

Name, Image, and Likeness does actually imply that you can get paid just for letting people see what you look like.
