Bradley vs Michigan State - Discussion Thread

I want to give MSU and Izzo the cudos they deserve for comiing to Carver. I know it's a 2 for 1 deal but anyway not every or many top BCS schools for that fact would be willing to play us at home regardless.

This should be a great game in a great atmosphere. GO BRAVES!

"I read one article an alum sent me that said this is the biggest thing that has happened there in 10 years," Izzo said. "I'm not sure whether we're that big or they haven't had a lot of things that have happened there. But they don't get a Michigan State to come in there all the time. There's no question about that."

It is a big deal because BASKETBALL is a big deal in Peoria and at Bradley. We have big games with great sold out crowds every year. We can even say that we have been fortunate enough to have one of these game in the non conference every 2-3 years (Illinois, Michigan, Depaul, etc.).

There are not many places that would make as big of a deal out of a non conference game on a Tuesday in early December. Sure it is great to have Michigan State in and that has a lot to do with the festvities and excitment. But it is my take that this is as much about Bradley and Peoria showing the rest of the country what kind of basketball town we are.

Thus far in the season, Izzo doesn't appear to have any qualms about going to a smaller lineup where he runs Lucas or Walton at PG, Neitzel at SG, Summers or Allen at SF, Morgan at PF and Gray at C.

While there are some similarities btwn MSU and Vandy, I will say this...Bradley has yet to play a team that rebounds and fast breaks as well off made baskets as MSU does. It's difficult to imagine not being able to get back on defense (especially after a made basket?) until you see it with you own eyes. They outlet and push the ball up the court as quickly as anyone I've seen yet this year.

I recall hearing that same type of statement from Kansas fans before we beat them in the NCAA's a few years ago. They even included a picture of a player from Kansas dunking the ball...we all thought it was over right then.:)

Hey MSU is going to be as good as we have seen....I'm sure they are quick and it will be an upset if we win but we won't get "outquicked".
 
Hey Braves fans, just wanted to wish you guys good luck tonight. This is a very tough game obviously but I'm confident your team and fans will be ready. We'll all be pulling for you guys tonight. Go get 'em!
 
I wonder why we haven't had any Michigan State fans to speak of posting here?
I have seen way more BU fans over on the MSU boards.
