1 - A.J. Hoggard (6’4” Jr.), Tre Holloman (6’2” Fr.)
2 - Tyson Walker (6’0” Sr.)
3 - Jaden Akins (6’4” So.), Pierre Brooks II (6’5” So.)
4 - Joey Hauser (6’9” Sr.), Jason Whitens (6’6” Sr.)
5 - Mady Sissoko (6’9” Jr.), Jaxon Kohler (6’9” Fr.), Carson Cooper (6’11” Fr.)
Injured: Malik Hall (6’8” Sr.)
Walker is the obvious problem matchup. He is super quick and got into the lane at will last game. He does a great job of keeping his dribble alive. Rutgers shuts down Walker and we win this game. Does he see Caleb or Mag to bother him with more length? The help D will be crucial. Does Rutgers swarming D force TOs from Walker when he penetrates?
If Pike does decide to try some Caleb on Walker, Mag could take Hoggard and shift Paul on Hauser. It'll be interesting to see what Pike has schemed up.
We will have the size advantage on the perimeter as usual. Paul needs to get back to his groove on offense. Let's hope Cam and Mag continue their hot streak
Can the bench step up and contribute a bit more in a huge road game?
MSU rallies with no Hall first game without him. Second game without a key player is sometimes where it really hurts after the initial emotional rally
