I have my seat in the Arena baby! No question this will be our toughest game this season. Sparty is really good even with having lost their best player, Joshua Langford, earlier this year and they just lost Kyle Ahrens for the rest of the season as he injured an ankle against Michigan during the BIg 10 championship game. They had 4 guys play 30 plus minutes so depth is one of the few issues they have. Matt McQuaid is a 3 point bomber so we have to always have someone on him. Sounds like a job for DLO. Cassius Winston has become their #1 scorer and he's also #3 in assists overall with a 7.5 average so DB and Luqman will need to get after him. We're also really going to have to attack the boards as Michigan State is #4 overall with a +9.0 rebound margin. We also have to cherish each offensive possession. Just can't throw any soft passes. Sounds like an impossible task. No way we'll beat them. They are going to be really motivated because they felt like they should have been a 1 seed and also not put in the same region as Duke. No one, especially the "informed media", will give us chance. Might as well not even show up in Des Moines and play right? Well one thing I know about the Bradley Braves is that they have no quit, no surrender in them. They believe. The Spartans are going to feel our presence. As long as we have that aggressive attitude on both ends of the court we have a shot. 8 #15 seeds have beaten a #2 seed so it has happened so why can't we make is 9.
I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN WIN! LET'S GO BOYS! GET ER DONE!
