MSU vs Michigan round 3

[Sbee]

Should be a great game, we're healthy and much better than the last two times but they've improved too.

I really wish costello would take a step forward, I'd love a big lineup w costello, payne, and dawson, thrre would be mismatches everywhere. I just dont think he can stay on the floor that long. He's a fouling machine, really disappointing

Not sure I agree about Costello. I feel he's taken a giant leap this year. In his role he's asked to come in and play as hard as possible for 5 minutes at a time. Fouls come with that. Fouls weren't a problem when he was starting with Payne being out.

Costello is the best shot blocker on the team. I think he has improved quite a bit since last year. The best line up is Appling, Harris, Valentine, Dawson and Payne.

Lets hope he can stay on the floor and we go big. Payne checks gr, dawson on lavert or stauskas, gary on the other one of those guys

Either Appling or Harris has to have a good game. Can we manage to put 2 good halfs together? We have yet to play 2 consecutive good halfs this year (that I recall). Payne needs to stay out of foul trouble, thats when teams creep back into games against us.

I love the matchups if we can go big

Agreed. Having Dawson this time should be HUGE. He can guard anyone but Walton. That is a big advantage. We can counter any lineup they put out there defensively. Not the same for them guarding us if we go big.

He cant check Walton all game but we could switch 1 and 3 and not have a huge mismatch

Msu -2.5 now

Seems having Dawson was indeed....HUGE!
