Mack willl destroy Lucious MSU Butler

[Goat Milk]

Shelvin Mack, the championship guard is going to outplay Lucious on both sides of the court. As we all know, the pg matchup is the most crucial in these types of games, slowed tempo, running the offense.

Giving Butler the advantage right now with championship players liek Mack and Hayward. Home court advantage. Crowd with them.

MSU has the experience,from coaching and the players. They understand what the mission is. But how long can they keep riding Summers for? Butler should force him into tough perimeter shots.

I agree on all counts. One worry - Butler is in over its head, and the massive home court crowd and media frenzy has the Bulldogs come out nervous

MSU has the experience and coaching edge - they will know what to expect. This game is definitely a tough call.

Lucious had a tough time taking care of the ball against Tennessee. He better limit the turnovers if MSU wants to win. It will also be interesting to see how Butler handles MSU's athleticism and rebounding prowess.

Hopefully yesterday's practice in front of 30k people at Lucas Oil will help with the Butler nerves.

Mack is definitely stronger than Lucious and a better ball handler right now, but Lucious will be able to use his quickness to beat Mack.

lucious can flat out shoot the ball...but mack is much more physical guard and if the refs keep the whistle out of their mouths...butler will have a huge advantage at the 1...butler needs to hit the defensive glass hard...hope they can do it...but dont let this home court shit fool u...msu has a bigger contingent of fans and they are just up the street and also tickets are sold to all 4 teams in the final four so that means a 1/4 split between them. I can see alot of msu fans making the trip. i cant see it being more then 60/40 fans being on butlers side...

im still on butler tho lol

GL everyone

Sure. The home court is only the slightest factor of the equation. I just can't overlooked the mismatch for Mack. You'll see. He's going to be very aggressive on both sides of the ball. Mack is a great defender. This game could definitely go either way. I just don't know how long MSU can ride Summers for. He's always been their best pure scorer and shooter, but more defense in this game, more physicality transmits into tired looking jumpshots.

Shelvin Mack is gonna have Lucious create so many turnovers

Should be a great game.
