I think Kentucky would be a better choice, but both would be a challenge.

I tend to agree. Would be a more classic matchup also at the Garden so that is who I’d prefer to play just based on that alone. They both present different challenges.

(Obligatory non jinx comment: if MU plays well enough to win today)

Not exactly an impressive start for either team.  I think I'd rather play Kavsas St if we win today.

I agree with this analysis...and to make the Final Four, likely having to play through Tennessee is also a fairly tough draw as it relates to physicality of teams.

I am guessing NLW is pulling for Kentucky.

I don't like it, but I get it. Izzo has earned a lot of respect with his record in the touney.

In the last 8 years, since the 2015 F4 team that was true Izzo March wizardry, MSU has only made the second weekend once, and that was the the 2019 team that had 3 NBA players and a senior defensive leader and was a top 5 team.

It’s still Izzo and that’s to be respected and feared, but it’s not the kind of Izzo team that you’re like “watch out for MSU in March!”

That was a bit Muggsyesque from Nowell.  Not exactly an easy guy to trap.

Yes, these teams that couldn't score 30 pts in a half strike the fear of god into me. We might as well just forfeit

This is why I’d prefer Kentucky to win if we take care of business, less of a 3 point shooting threat and you usually don’t see a team cold from 3 two games in a row.

Will Tshiebwe get called for 3 seconds at least once?  He literally gets into the lane and never leaves.

Just saw the ESPN headline that says that X avoided the upset and reached the Elite Eight…lol
I screenshot it.
Hope they do…
Ha. What is it with ESPN and Pitt? Last week the headline was "Miami Upset Pitt"; Miami was higher ranked, at home and a 6 point favorite.  :o
