Memphis it is

Hey State Fans....Check out the Memphis/Texas boards.   They already have Memphis and UT playing and beating each other.  Don't they have to defeat the Green & White before they can face the Longhorns...?  Get real!  I'll take Neitzel & Lucas at the line late in a game before any Memphis shooter.

If you did not hear...

Congrats to Sparty who will be gracing the cover of the NCAA 2009 football game.

I think that Memphis will be overlooking the Spartans and looking at Texas.  I think Izzo will have MSU ready for Memphis.  MSU has a great defense and Memphis has yet to play a team with a great defense and rebounding skills.  I think it will be MSU in a return to the elite 8 and beating Texas on the way to the final four.

GO STATE !!!!

Classic post as always Erbrown.  I'm not sure where it came from.  I always try to have creative avatars for my Fantasy Football league.  I had Jenny Granholms face in it for a while but figured the classic look would be better for the national venue.

I'm really looking foreward to the game.  I think it will come down to Memphis's free throw capability.  I posted this below to a Memphis post below:

Coco I think that you're right about the free throw subject but very wrong about slipping past Michigan State if they don't hit their free throws.  I think that this will be a great contest next Friday but if Memphis can't hit their free throws against State, they are done.  In every game (but one) MSU has lost this year, it's been at the charity stripe.  The free throws and point difference for each loss are UCLA 19-31 5 point loss, Iowa 16-29 7 point loss, Penn State 16-20 9 point loss, Purdue 11-14 6 point loss, Wisconsin (got stomped) not free throws, Ohio State 14-20 9 point loss.

All but Wisconsin were due to State's propensity to foul.  If Memphis can't make their shots, State will win.  Also just a note, Michigan State has already beat Texas.  We'll be ready Friday so I hope that the Tigers aren't looking to far ahead.  I'm looking forward to a great game and may the best team win.
