Welcome to the Izzone: A Michigan State Spartans Dynasty (CH 2k9)
  Welcome to the Izzone: A Michigan State Spartans Dynasty Though Coach Tom Izzo's Spartans lost Drew Neitzel, their heart and soul floor general from last season's 27-9 team, there's plenty of talent left over in East Lansing. Sophomore Point Guard Kalin Lucas takes over for Neitzel, and he's already proven he can play after averaging 10.2 points and 3.8 assists per game as a freshman last season. Last year's leading scorer (14.0 ppg) Raymar Morgan also returns to hold down the Small Forward position and provide leadership. Sophomore guard Chris Allen will be counted on for his shooting and scoring ability. The Spartans' frontcourt should not be lacking in talent or toughness, either. Newcomer Delvon Roe, a 6'10" power forward, has the toughness and athleticism to start right away in the Big Ten. Senior Center Goran Suton is as hard-nosed as they come, and he should improve upon his 9.1 points per contest. Final Projection: 30-6, NCAA Elite Eight Hope you guys enjoy. I've done a bunch of 'chises over on the IGN boards but wanted to try something different, and especially a CHoops one, so here we go!Starting Lineup:  PG Kalin Lucas  SG Chris Allen  SF Raymar Morgan  PF Delvon Roe  C Goran Suton |

Michigan State 2009/09 Schedule
11/7/2008 - vs. Bradley 11/11/08 - @ #9 Notre Dame 11/13/08 - @ Valparaiso 11/24/08 - @ #4 UCLA (Maui Invitational) 12/1/2008 - @ Clemson (Maui Invitational) 12/3/08 - vs. #1 North Carolina (Ford Field) 12/5/08 - vs. Bowling Green 12/7/08 - vs. #7 Texas 12/9/08 - vs. Albany 12/10/08 - @ Washington State 12/13/08 - vs. Texas Tech 12/18/08 - vs. #24 Kansas 1/2/2009 - vs. Penn State 1/6/09 - @ #11 Purdue 1/7/09 - @ Penn State 1/11/09 - vs. #11 Purdue 1/15/09 - @ Ohio State 1/18/09 - vs. #25 Wisconsin 1/23/09 - vs. Iowa 1/27/09 - @ Michigan 2/1/09 - vs. Michigan 2/7/09 - @ Indiana 2/14/09 - Illinois 2/18/09 - Northwestern 2/21/09 - vs. Ohio State 2/24/09 - vs. Indiana 2/25/09 - @ #25 Wisconsin 2/27/09 - @ Minnesota Red denotes Non-Conference game Green denotes Big Ten Conference game Schedule Analysis: There are several rough patches in the schedule for the Spartans, including #1 North Carolina just two days after returning from Hawaii and a back-to-back on the road at #11 Purdue and Penn State. Overall, enough strength on the schedule (Notre Dame, UCLA, UNC, Texas, Purdue, Wisconsin, Kansas all in Top 25) to boost the RPI, but it shouldn't be totally killer. Look for MSU to have their way with the Big Ten schedule. |

The Spartans struggled with turnovers in the second half, but credit Bradley's improved D on Kalin Lucas. Freshman Korie Lucious was able to knock down 5 of 6 free throws in the final minute to ice the game for Michigan State. Coach Izzo will be pleased with the defensive intensity and rebounding, but MSU still has some work to do offensively, which became plainly obvious in the 2nd Half. <table style="margin-bottom: 1px;" width="100%" align="center" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#b70002"><td colspan="11" width="100%">Bradley Braves</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#c1c1c1"> <td width="24%">Starters</td> <td width="7%" align="right">MIN</td> <td width="10%" align="right">FGM/A</td> <td width="10%" align="right">3PM/A</td> <td width="10%" align="right">FTM/A</td> <td width="6%" align="right">REB</td> <td width="6%" align="right">AST</td> <td width="6%" align="right">STL</td> <td width="6%" align="right">BLK</td> <td width="6%" align="right">TO</td> <td width="6%" align="right">PTS</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td>Singh</td> <td align="right">21</td> <td align="right">2/3</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">3</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">4</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ececec"> <td>Thompson</td> <td align="right">21</td> <td align="right">2/6</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">4</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">3</td> <td align="right">2</td> <td align="right">2</td> <td align="right">4</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td>Wilson</td> <td align="right">21</td> <td align="right">5/12</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">2/2</td> <td align="right">8</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">2</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">3</td> <td align="right">12</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ececec"> <td>Warren </td> <td align="right">21</td> <td align="right">7/12</td> <td align="right">1/3</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">2</td> <td align="right">4</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">5</td> <td align="right">15</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td>Maniscalco </td> <td align="right">20</td> <td align="right">5/9</td> <td align="right">0/2</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">5</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">5</td> <td align="right">10</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#c1c1c1"> <td width="24%">Reserves</td> <td width="7%" align="right">MIN</td> <td width="10%" align="right">FGM/A</td> <td width="10%" align="right">3PM/A</td> <td width="10%" align="right">FTM/A</td> <td width="6%" align="right">REB</td> <td width="6%" align="right">AST</td> <td width="6%" align="right">STL</td> <td width="6%" align="right">BLK</td> <td width="6%" align="right">TO</td> <td width="6%" align="right">PTS</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td>Collins</td> <td align="right">4</td> <td align="right">0/1</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ececec"> <td>Roberts</td> <td align="right">4</td> <td align="right">2/2</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">4</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td>Brown</td> <td align="right">4</td> <td align="right">1/3</td> <td align="right">0/0</td> <td align="right">0/1</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">0</td> <td align="right">1</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#c1c1c1"> <td colspan="2" align="center"> TOTALS </td> <td align="right">24/48</td> <td align="right">1/5</td> <td align="right">2/3</td> <td align="right">19</td> <td align="right">10</td> <td align="right">6</td> <td align="right">3</td> <td align="right">16</td> <td align="right"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table style="margin-bottom: 1px;
