The boys from East Lansing are once again favorites in the Big Ten and that is really no surprise. Junior forward Raymar Morgan is a star in the making because he can do it all and with point guard Kalin Lucas running the offense, Morgan will see plenty of great looks at the basket. The Spartans are deep, well-coached, and have a great mix of experience and youth on the roster. The key to beating this team is for everyone on the court to be aggressive on missed shots. Tom Izzo coached teams are historically proficient at team rebounding. Even the guards are expected to body up and crash the boards. That means that opponents must have all five guys box out the Spartans because a team this talented will eat you alive with second and third looks at the hoop.
