UConn Vs Mich State Game Thread

[indeedproceed]

Thought I'd start a game thread.....

UConn doesn't look like they have the juice of Mich right now

I am totally rooting for UCONN, but I love the fact that Tom Izzo recruits local kids (9 of his team are from Michigan).  Given the economy of cities like Detroit and Flint, I really respect that he's reaching in and building his teams locally.  It's a positive sign in so many ways.

I like that too.

Thabeet even sounds kinda like Mutombo

Thabeet nailed the hardwood there

MSU has an unbelievable home court advantage, but I think UCONN is settling down.

MSU may be deeper, but UCONN looks much stronger.

Thabeet is gonna be a heckuva player in teh league. I mean he's not gonna redefine the center position or anything but he's a top 2 pick.

I agree.  He may not redefine, but he may very well dominate the position.  I haven't seen a college center that I have liked as much since Duncan (I am including Oden).

wow, that was a great pass by MSU!!

again!  I like the team work MSU has shown all tourney!  Great team work has a way of winning when it shouldn't.

Is the league going to get rid of the defensive 3 seconds rule?

I really hope he's got the gift of blarney too..imagine that gigantic guy, with only the faintest grasp of the english language saying witty retorts. I cannot wait.

Reporter: What is it you'd say that you do out there, Hasheem?
Thabeet: I get the double doubles. I get the block shots. I am an amnial.

He moves better then you think, but he's not in that class, that's a little excessive. He's too soft right now, and is prone to fouling a lot even at the college level if you just attack him and not get afraid. He can be put in foul trouble too easily. He's better then a Roy Hibbert, but nowhere near a Duncan.

Actually strike that he seems pretty soft spoken, and his english is really pretty decent. Ah well....maybe next time.
