" I'm Bryan Webber joined by our hoops analyst mark his job to previewing the final four matchup between you've got -- Michigan State market it -- not Louisville the top overall seed taking and you got. Are you surprised spartans don't play basketball -- I am but give Tom -- a lot of credit -- you know he what he did -- or Travis Walton best player in the Big Ten defensively on Terrence Williams and what happens Terrence Williams goes one for seven scores five points in this game is in the in the total non factor. Just as a stroke of brilliance on his part. As a from that angle I'm not surprised that one stat that jumps out at me is that over twelve your period every player at Michigan State that state for four years has gotten to a final four today that gives you the level of excellence that Tom Izzo. Has established what Michigan State becoming a coaching icon. In the college ranks of the spartans really the first home court advantage we've had had a final four in many years but -- every -- outside the -- distraction that the kids are a round. -- Stanley stated that kind of stuff well you know Kalin Lucas grew up ten minutes from Ford Field admiral Summers as is -- Detroit kid but."

" What do you think that that time is it will do I think he'll play on the fact that the area of Detroit did the depressed economy because it auto industry and how badly that's suffered the past few years. If you've got to give these people and that's video a reason to embrace your basketball team and they -- embrace them already be in the local team. But I think he cannot feeds into debt and help and allows his players speed does that give them some time to to deal with friends family and everything else going along and then kind of a -- to raise big money and and and prepare for the game so. It can't be a distraction but I think time as -- has been there enough in his career that I think -- not you know there's nobody better than achieved the -- in the paint but now he's got to guard pointed to on the perimeter guys that match was going to be tough and I don't think you know you you want the -- going -- to to defend -- time -- was some time to shoot the basketball the -- his confidence is right now from the outside so. I think that the -- to keep the Jim Calhoun is going to have to be some kind of tweaking of the deepened to allow the peaked at that patrol the paint. Make sure that he's a shot blocking rebounding fourth inside. And -- there are deep into scheme to come up with a to deal with the with the outside shooting bigs at Michigan State about guard Blake in the sport slowdown. AJ price and Campbell walker who was dialed in in the elite eight -- is going to be a guard matchup for the ages especially with the emergence of -- Campbell walker but I think you're going to see the same approach that they didn't -- who's going to play those two point guards allowed just because of the ability that the break your basketball team. But I missed it -- get to predict their guards Kalin Lucas Big Ten thirty year Travis Walton big too deep it's a -- so I think Travis Walton just like he was sick. On deterrence wins a liberal I think time is those six in a two month. To a AJ price and I think -- going to have difficulty scoring as easily as he's done in the past for your players to watch as you make a prediction well you know I like it. Is this is statement when you when you get some of these name's Dre Mon derail -- margulies talked about black guys that you think you talk about. I don't think you racial terms about ready to go with -- radar you know very moderate marred the rail I like Dorell and I like dream hungrier because of the freshman and sophomore didn't play. A lot at the beginning the year 2425 minutes in the last ball game respectively from those two did a great job especially summer should about the outside. And where you've got Stanley Roberts at. You know you look at the last game he was when the -- the theme of blacks that's not the beat he's averaged seventy points a game the last couple weeks he's really come on strong. Kind of a troubled young men missing an -- for a lot of practice time last year. I was -- has been suspected over the summer that had kind of work its way back into the good graces of Jim Calhoun. He has done net and he is playing great basketball he's actually worked himself into the first round of the NBA draft based on his play the last couple weeks he's got to watch out for Stanley Roberts -- in the and it's tough and I think Michigan State you know. UConn. I love the with a play in the Big East this is really. Then that steel -- still it's still think in terms of preparing preparing them but I think -- is of the fact that. You know that that he's got a team playing their best basketball and the depth this team a bad that I didn't recognize and know that they had played so well right now our distinguished at stake it. -- mouse from from Lansing when a because they're in a way."

" Can be an outstanding game we appreciate the exact -- and CAA tournament needs."
