Michigan State Spartans Basketball: MSU 82, Florida Atlantic 55 Kneejerk Reactions

Free Throw shooting was one of my only concerns from the game; 60.7% is probably not an acceptable number. MSU was 338th out of 351 Division 1 teams in this category last year and I still expect regression to the mean.

Deyonta Davis was an absolute monster with a 13-11-5 points-rebounds-blocks line. Interestingly, he used 33% of available possessions with a 112 offensive rating. I'm guessing that's mainly due to offensive rebounds and putbacks, but that's still a nice outing in the first regular season game from a true frosh.

Denzel Valentine had a "quiet" 13-8-9 (pts-reb-ast) and was quite close to the triple double.
