VS.OU Golden Grizzlies (Horizon) vs. Michigan State Spartans (B1G)Monday December 18th,2023 7:00pm(ET) East Lansing, MI MSU Athletics: msuspartans.com/sports/mens-basketballSpartans Fan Forum: 247sports.com/college/michigan-state/board/michigan-state-spartans-message-board-forum-93/Michigan State Roster:F 6'9" 245 lbs 0 Jaxon Kohler Sophomore American Fork, Utah Southern California Academy G 6'2" 190 lbs 1 Jeremy Fears Jr. Freshman Joliet, Ill.

Detroit Country Day C 6'9" 250 lbs 22 Mady Sissoko Senior Bafoulabe, Mali, West Africa Wasatch Academy (Utah) F 6'8" 220 lbs 25 Malik Hall Graduate Student Aurora, Ill. Sunrise Christian Academy (Kan.) F 6'11" 220 lbs 34 Xavier Booker Freshman Indianapolis, Ind. Cathedral F 6'5" 220 lbs 55 Coen Carr Freshman East Point, Ga. Legacy Early College (S.C.) After a little over a week off for exams the Grizz get back on the hardwood against a all too familiar opponent in Michigan State. The Spartans are coming off a complete 88-64 beat down destroying a top 10 team in Baylor. Hopefully that was just a case of the Spartans releasing some frustrations over how their season has been going and not the case that they may have regained their swagger otherwise the Grizz could be in for a long night. Going to need steady contributions from the bench because Coach Izzo will find a way to contain both Trey and Chris.

I would rather play Sparty after a big win than after a loss. The line is currently -16.5 probably inflated by the Baylor result. If we play well, we could easily cover and maybe upset them.

Feel like 16.5 is easy money even if we lose won't be that much I still think we can win this one let's go get it guys

Going into tonight’s MSU game, Oakland’s record stands at 6-5 (1-1 in HL). Just curious how this record compares to previous years at this time. Overall, I think Kampe should like his odds - certainly compared to previous years.
At first glance, Oakland should play a very competitive game. All depends on which version of MSU shows up tonight. Kind of think they will not be able to match the intensity of Saturday night vs Baylor. Oakland needs to keep it close and the pressure will build on MSU.

It's better, but still not looking good. We need to score the ball. Of course, it's easier said than done, they are bigger, stronger, faster, and of course know how to play against our zone. If our bigs can score more, it could hopefully open things up for everyone else. Hopefully we play better in the 2nd half.

For as many games Townsend has played, he continues to make poor decisions. Tends to turn the ball over a lot of takes poor shots

Not happy seems like our effort dropped in the second half and they took it to us I really thought we had a chance even talked crap to some Spartan fans at work this was not the team we have seen look really good at times in the past it seems like this game has hurt in for weeks I hope that doesn't happen again let's get back to what was working early on hopefully thr grizz get back on track with conference play coming up quickly

Very disappointing game - it should have been much more competitive given this year’s roster. Oakland has a systematic problem with the end of the first half/beginning of the second half. Kampe alluded to a player who keeps making mistakes and doesn’t even know he is making mistakes. Not sure how to address that.
After Dayton, Oakland will switch to HL games, where the real tests will begin. While I do believe they will fair well, I am not sure they have the mental consistency to adjust to difficult situations. Hope for the best, but it looks like the HL will be much more competitive across the board, so no nights off.

Yes and the big worry is those mistakes will crop up in the horizon league tournament and end the season just like every year and disappoint us
