OK. First look at this game I think Mich St will blow out Georgia Tech @ MSU. The line has steadily climbed. Started at 11 now at 14, and maybe goin higher.

So far Georgia tech has been nothing short of awful, and Michigan State has been a little of both winning against Arizona (although I do feel Arizona is overrated) and playing one of the greatest CBB games I have ever seen losing to Gonzaga by 3 in triple OT! What a game!

GeoTech has posted wins against UNC-Ashville and Elon, pretty mediocre competition, and lost to a bad Illinois-Chicago team at home by 22!!! By the way Illinois-Chicago was beaten by St. Xavier Chicago, a school down the block form where I live. Oh yeah, theyre an NAIA team! So GT has yet to impress. They also have zero retuning starters and a lot of freshman playing.

Michigan St posted a loss their first game of the year against Hawaii, losing badly. Maybe that one can be chalked up to distractions and various other vices the island may bring.

This game is part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge which the Big Ten is trying to win first the first time, in, well maybe ever, if not ever, its been awhile. I see an MSU win but I dont know about laying 14 here. Ager really impressed me against Gonzaga, but I feel Shannon Brown is the most overrated player in the Big Ten. They have a strong inside presence in Paul Davis.

What are everyone's thoughts? DJ? Thor? Corey? Skins? Roth> ETC ETC ??

Im trying to nail this one and am leaning towards.....

GT +14

MSU FT 82%
GT FT 64%

MSU TO/Game 18
GT TO/Game 17.6

GT got some solid sophmore players in guards Anthony Morrow and Buck Fredrick and Forwards Ra'Sean Dickey and Jeremis Smith.

I just dont know how well they can match up with Big Man Paul Davis who can make a lot of different shots as well as his free throws.

Still 14 is looking like a lot fo points here against a young, athletic GT team. MSU has played well but seems to only be able to get for their big games.

Ill Take GT +14

MSU 42
GT 32
Halftime

GT looks like a good young team with some good talent, they could be right in this one. They were able to withstand some hot MSU shooting early and are only down 10. They canstill make a game of this if they get MSU rattled on the offensive side of the ball.

Lets go 2nd Half JacketS!!!
