I looked over MSU roster, thier biggest post players are only 6-8. Bigsby and NAZ need to eat. We need to play this game down in the paint where we have a huge mismatch in size. I think we got this one. Let's Geaux!

I remember in 79 playing Michigan State. They had a 6’-9” guard named Earvin Johnson, who later became NBA legend, Magic Johnson. Geaux Tigers!
