Men’s Basketball: MSU smothers LSU to move on to the Elite-8

Well that was fun!

Yesterday in the locker room I talked with Matt McQuaid, Gabe Brown, and Aaron Henry, I asked each of them if they were especially “up” for their positional match-up with some talented, athletic, NBA-aura wings. They all demurred talking about defending and rebounding. My personal preview had me thinking that Winston and Waters might cancel each other out, and that the starting front-courts might as well, which would leave the wings and the benches of the respective teams to possibly decide the game. So I had a feeling those three might have a shot to play a big role.
