How To Watch Miami Vs. Michigan State, Game Time, Tv Info, Live Stream

... a first round exit to an Elite Eight run shouldn’t be surprising. Miami: Tremendously athletic but only occasionally dominant, Miami had a tendency to play to its level of competition. Wins against North Carolina and Duke show the Canes can beat anyone, but over the course of the season they were very much a middle-of-the-pack ACC team. Freshmen Bruce Brown and Dewan Huell are future pros, but the key to a run will be seniors Davon Reed and Kamari Murphy.

How To Watch Kansas Vs. Michigan State, Game Time, Tv Info, Live Stream

... have the most interest of any this weekend. Josh Jackson vs. Miles Bridges is a lottery pick face-off that could be one highlight after another. Michigan State. After a horrendous showing in the first seven minutes of the game, Michigan State played what Tom Izzo estimated to be some of the best basketball he has seen from the Spartans in a couple years. A 20-2 run in the first half, fueled by Nick Ward and Miles Bridges, provided enough padding for Michigan State to not only avenge last season’s first round exit but set the stage for a contentious second round game against top-seeded Kansas with a Sweet 16 spot on the line.

Senior Alvin Ellis Iii Is A Rarity For Spartans

... foot on campus. There was a seismic shift in philosophical approach when fourth-year senior forward Gavin Schilling and Ben Carter , who came in a graduate-transfer to bolster the senior class, suffered season-ending knee injuries last fall. Michigan State’s fortunes suddenly depended more on how well Izzo and his staff could get the freshmen to play than what the remaining seniors did. Nevertheless, Eron Harris , a two-year Spartan who transferred from West Virginia, and Alvin Ellis III did everything they could, sometimes in the background, to uphold MSU’s senior tradition until two games before Senior Day, Harris’ season also came to an end because of a knee injury. And now, going into its NCAA Tournament first-round game against Miami, MSU is down to the last of its scholarship seniors charged with having his best season. (Senior Matt Van Dyk joined MSU as a transfer walk-on in 2014, and was placed on scholarship last fall.). Ellis looked around the Spartan locker room in the BOK Center, at the fresh faces of freshmen Miles Bridges , Nick Ward , Cassius Winston and Joshua ...

Miles Bridges, Michigan State Get A Shot At Josh Jackson And Kansas

... The Spartans played Arizona, Kentucky, Baylor, and Duke this year. They know what the big stage - against big-time opponents - is all about. "We played at Duke. We played Kentucky in Madison Square Garden. We played Arizona out in Hawaii," Izzo says. "I mean, we've been on big stages all year long. And I think it hurt us some in the travel and everything, and but you'll have to ask them. "I think they had confidence that they could play in a big stage.". Now, Michigan State gets a chance to notch Izzo's whopping 14 th Sweet 16 appearance. Jackson and Kansas stand in the way. Asked Friday night what it might have been like to add Jackson to what's already a stellar freshman class, Bridges admitted it would've been impressive. But he's cool with where the Spartans are at now, too. "It would've been ...

Michigan State's Cassius Winston Holds Key To A Long Ncaa Run

... Izzo, the question of whether to play him is not. His defense can be that shaky. On the other end of the floor, though, Winston does what no one else on the roster can do. The freshman point guard is the team’s best passer. Yet it’s not just his vision that unclogs MSU’s often sticky offense. It’s his ability to control the pace of the game, too. More MSU coverage. Michigan State vs. Miami scouting report: Who has the edge. Izzo has said Winston is MSU’s best passing guard since Magic Johnson. This isn’t an understatement. If you don’t want to take Izzo’s word, take Jim Larranaga’s. The Miami coach likes to show his team clips of players they’ve played against that resemble upcoming opponents. To study Miles Bridges, Larranaga spliced highlights of Duke’s Jason Tatum. To prepare for Nick Ward, Larranaga used North Carolina’s Kennedy Meeks. In searching for a comparison to Winston, however, Larranaga couldn’t find one. At least among players in the college game. So he turned to the NBA. “Quite honestly, there are not a lot of players in the country that play (with) that high level of basketball IQ,” he ...

Ben Carter Still Hoping To Play For Michigan State Next Season

... whom suffered season-ending knee injuries. Schilling hurt his in late October, and Harris injured his at Purdue on Feb. 18. Nairn said Carter “really touched my heart in a special way this year.”. “Seeing Ben go down the first official practice, it was tough for me, because (of) learning about his journey in college,” Nairn told the crowd. “And being there when Gav hurt his knee, it inspired me, also. Those guys come in in every single day and work as hard as they can. They’re at every meeting.”. Nairn, a second-year captain, also said seeing Harris suffer his injury was “one of the toughest things I’ve had to deal with being at Michigan State.”. “I know what he’s been through the past five years in his college career,” Nairn said. “A lot of people say I inspire them. I want to turn this ...

Miami Has The Experience Michigan State Basketball Coach Tom Izzo Wants

... does. The Hurricanes don’t have a big man with post-up moves. The Spartans do. They don’t have two Mc Donald’s All-Americans — though they have one, and another coming next season — or one of the best freshmen classes in college basketball. Their history isn't dotted by trips to the Final Four, or the Spartans’ brand. What they do have is toughness. And length. And experience. Oh, that elusive experience. It’s why, according to Miami coach Jim Larranaga, the Hurricanes are here at the Bok Center in Tulsa, on a dais under concrete bleachers, speaking to you now. Miami will face Michigan State around 9:20 p.m. Friday in the NCAA tournament (TNT). Without Davon Reed and Kamari Murphy, he said, “we wouldn’t be where we are and our young players would not have developed the way they have.”. Reed, a guard, and Murphy, a forward, both are seniors. They are ...

Michigan State's Gavin Schilling Opens Up About What Might Have Been

... Nick Ward, in particular, struggles to keep his feet set. Schilling can relate. He was a freshman trying to learn once, too. With Ward, Schilling said, he often doesn’t get low enough. That costs him leverage, making it harder to keep the feet set. Move them, and it’s an offensive foul. “Lots of things go into setting good screens,” he said. Michigan State's Tom Izzo sees Nick Ward's progress under fire. Mostly, however, it’s experience. Something these Spartans don’t have. Schilling would have changed that. He would have made this squad deeper and tougher as well. It’s easy to forget how important players like Schilling can be, because they don’t score much and don’t bring flash. “I play for my teammates,” he said. Whether help defense or boxing out or setting brick-wall screens, what ...
