00:00Start with the South region, Michigan State taking on Bryant
00:04DRS this game late night in Cleveland, Ohio, the Spartans a
00:0817 and a half point favorite against the Bryant Bears the
00:12champions from the America East led by Phil Martelli Jr. Of
00:16course, his father, Phil Martelli, Sr. A coaching legend
00:20right a conference championship this year for Bryant as well.
00:24Donnie, not sure if you dove into the scouting report for the
00:27Bears, but everybody in their starting lineup, you want to
00:30talk about length, everybody. Oh, Bulldog, excuse me, Brian
00:34Bulldog. I say bears, Brian Bulldogs, Brian Bulldogs. That's
00:37on me. Everybody in the starting lineup for Brian six, six and
00:43above. Maybe some of that lane in the tempo that Brian plays
00:47at. Can it frustrate Michigan State today?
00:50Here's the problem. We see that big line at 16 and a half and
00:53you say to yourself, well, how's Brian going to attack in this
00:55game? Can you shoot the three point shot? Who's the best team
00:58in the entire country at defending the three point line?
01:01It is Michigan State top 10 on defense at rebounding. It is
01:04Michigan State affected field goal percentage 14th overall.
01:08And you look at Brian from the three point line. They don't
01:10really do all that much to try to defeat you there. But
01:13Michigan State is a boring basketball team per se, because
01:16they tell us Ben, I wish we could just take the three point
01:19line out of basketball because we don't use it at all, nor do
01:21we actually use it effectively at shooting 328th in the country
01:25and only 30% as a team. But the effectiveness for them is
01:28getting to the free throw line that mid range game and it all
01:31works out well. I have Michigan State obviously moving on. But
01:35this team if I'm looking at one game today, Ben and I say,
01:37where's my excitement meter for it? This has to be dead last.
01:41I'm just being honest. It has to which again, shout out the
01:44NCAA. Shout out the cameras right there with all the crowds
01:47walking by you, Ben. Shout out this right now. Michigan State
01:50wins this game and puts a chokehold on Brian. But having
01:54said that, 10 o'clock. Come on, man. Who's watching? Not me.
01:57Not me. MSU
