I rank MSU top 2 in the nation... They are VERY experienced team- They are NOT happy to be here... They want Uconn in the national title game... I do not want to sway anyone but I would be suprised by a 71-59 type game. I believe the weapons, team defense and all that jazz that MSU has is top notch. Vivians, McCowan, and the little guard are the best trio outside of Storr's CT.
THis is going to be a game that I think MSU tries to keep ugly. Rebound, walk up, post pass, dribble, kick out... repost, 7 seconds left on the shot clock... entry pass and shot. UCLA will try to rebound but hard to RB against a MSU team that is one of the best rebounding teams and MUCH bigger than UCLA. So MSU will have 15 Offensive RB's which lead to 16 points and 3 or 4 more minutes of run time on the clock.
For me- I do not think UCLA will be able to speed MSU. I do not think UCLA will be able to be even with RB, and I do not think Billings has a chance vs McCowan... But I am cold as cold can be when I post plays.
I have the under. I think 8 is getting up there where it could be just a little too much. But I like the score 71-59 but could see 71-65 or even 71-69.
Its going to be a good game but I think MSU is the class.
