Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2433760, member: 488"] +7 is a couple points lower than what I expected, but let's take it easy with the Michigan State knob polishing. They lost 15 games last year. "I'll be happy if we keep it within 10 points" is not a great representation of the situation, especially given the fact that they aren't a program that is traditionally razor sharp this time of year (this season has been no exception so far). They're more talented, they're deeper, and they're bigger/longer/stronger, but man for man we're not outgunned that badly. We have at least a couple guys who any coach in the country would be happy to have on their team and that can take you a long way. If we get more than we expect from somebody like Carlton, Polley, or Whaley, suddenly we're right in the game. It's not so different than the last time we played them in a preseason tournament seven years ago. [/QUOTE]
