1) Why do you like Michigan State? Please provide rationale.
2) Michigan State got to play two home games to get here.... watch out.

Mich state has been more physical than duke the past few tourney matchups, and this is not one of coach k's best teams. Curry and plumlee have to be lights out every night in The tourney. Ryan Kelly is not the answer.

This game is a toss up. Too dangerous to put a play on it.

Yes of course Mich State is more physical... so a lot depends if the refs "let them play"; that helps MSU.
Is Appling 100%? Maybe, maybe not.
If not, Duke has more finesse and could easily prevail if Curry hits his 3's. And Plumless and others can play a little inside... not as well as MSU.... but do not underestimate them. Kelly? Hey every team in the USA wishes they had Kelly. He is a big factor, inside and outside.
I still say this line is off, the perception of the two Michigan State blowouts that were basically home games...
I lean to Duke.

Liking Duke more and more now.

Very seldom is duke such a small fave play. I play duke when they are dogs and dd faves, but never as a small fave. This is based on historical data going back to the Elton brand days.

Might as well handicap how they perform on rainy days if you are going to include the Elton Brand days in capping last nights game

Coach K owns Izzo. Won 7 of 8 matchups.
