Some interesting stuff.

RJ had two blocks? What?

Wow, does the box score show how much better we are year to year. Two starters -- Olander and Calhoun -- can't get minutes this year. Kromah and TSam coming of the bench instead of RJ. Brimah. And our three starts all a year wiser and better.

This is a winnable game. Totally healthy, on a neutral floor, do we beat MSU 4 out of 7? Probably not. But we are healthier than them, this will not be a neutral floor and we can beat anyone in the country on a day we shoot well. Hopefully, they have as much trouble finding Payne consistently as they did Friday night.

Go Dogs.

I will settle for Payne going for 6 & 2 again.

Who said we out rebounded them? They hammered us, this is the alarming stat and that Payne is a much different player today.

They out rebounded us by 13 and we still won.

We are a much, much, much better team than we were in November of '12.

Giffey is banging and he needs to do that big time for us to win this game. 10+ boards He was HUGE against Nova and one of the primary reasons that game went pretty easily in our direction.
