Michigan St. 2nd Half Thoughts?

[Dirty Bay Player]

If Mich St. goes into halftime with a lead or tied, they'll get a half point or more. I like that bet.

They're controlling the inside, getting boards, not making turnovers. They look more athletic to me too. Butler keeps chucking up threes.

Thoughts on Mich St 2nd half?

I'm going to be betting 2000 on the spartans, they have about a 90% chance of winning.

[Dirty Bay Player]

What's the basis of that belief, Cappin? Just gut? History? Izzo? Or you see something specific that you like?

Michigan is playing better ball right now.... only one guy for Butler has been doing the scoring.

butler -1.5 and the under

[Dirty Bay Player]

I like Mich St. and the under. Bigger bodies inside, controlling the action. Most of Butler's points on uncontested threes (and Izzo won't let that happen second half). I think Butler gets shut down in a low scoring second half.

Mich. St. and the under.

Izzo

Here's where I think MSU magic runs out.

[Cappinpicks]

I like the coach, inside presence, and everything about the spartans that will lead them to another big win.

Never let a good team hang around when they are struggling or they will burn you.

Michigan State let Butler hang around as bad and predictable as they have been. They will regroup and win this game.

inside presence? Mich st is jacking up just as much threes as Butler. If Summers gets cold this game is over for them.

OUCH!!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!

Agreed. Everyone says take Izzo in close games, but they had a chance to put these guys away and if you factor in %'s, MSU realistically can't escape another close one as they have all tourny long. I could be wrong, but I'll take my chances and let my Butler bet ride and not hedge @ the half.

Butler n the over

[Dirty Bay Player]

I don't see how it goes over. Both teams have been milking the shot clock 75% of their possessions. Only way I see it going over is if one of the teams goes up by 10 with less than 3 minutes left, w/ the fouling and whatnot.

[Dirty Bay Player]

that is, of course, unless mich st. puts butler in the bonus with 13 mins left.

MSU cant buy a basket

[Dirty Bay Player]

Just need a little run.

[Dirty Bay Player]

I must say one thing I don't like about MIch St - that big fat dude running fast breaks. He takes too many gambles on passes in the half court set too. Have a real pg handling the ball int he open court guys

yyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
