Forbes 6'3 190lb SR
Valentine 6'5 220 SR
Costello 6'9 245 SR
Harris 6'3 185 RS/JR
Davis 6'10 240 FR

You know CTC will stick to his original lineup so here ya go...

Yogi on Valentine
RoJo on Forbes
Bryant on Davis
Troy on Harris
Hartman on Costello

I would change my lineup for this game and switch Hartman for Morgan or OG and have him guard Costello to start with. Thoughts???

Costello is a tough match up for us, but if it's Hartman I don't think Costello can guard him when we have the ball...

Agree on both your points. Will be a tough matchup for us. Hopefully TB will stay out of foul trouble. I'd absolutely love to see us steal this one obviously!

I personally feel Hartman cannot guard Costello...ever.

[Yogi'sBicep 1,048]

Benches will be the deciding factor

But can Costello guard Hartman? And is that the matchup we are going to see?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I do not think so, either way.

Does it matter when Troy's man beats him, Colin fouls him in the paint, and Colin sits with early foul trouble?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I see Costello guarding Thomas or Max, who ever us in the game.

I don't know.  I think Colin had changed the help defensive tactics.  I believe he is just going to block shots from here on out...sprint down the court and stroke a deep 3!   :wink:

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

So you see Davis guarding Hartman then?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

If he is not on Troy.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

If he is not on Troy.

Well I feel "good" Troy or Hartman either one would have their way with Davis... So that is a plus match up for us!!

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Think as you may, Davis is a good athlete.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

Just speculation on my part, I don't follow MSU but regardless how athletic I can't imagine him being able to stay in front of Troy or Collin outside, especially Collin, respecting his shot and still being and to stay in front of his drive

He did it to one of the favorites for B1G POY why not the other?! 

 

"Don't come in here you little man, THIS IS HARTMAN'S HOUSE!"

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Lol. Fine

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

Just trying to give myself positive thoughts prior to the game.....
