The Palace was rocking today. Michigan stomped all over VCU - highly surprising. Michigan is not a physical team, but they sure looked like one against what turned into be a Kleenex soft defense by VCU. It didn't help they got a few quick fouls and probably couldn't be as aggressive, but it was never in question.
Meanwhile, MSU played Jekyll and Hyde in the first half, forcing their will on Memphis and then standing around offensively to let them cut the lead to 3. MSU found its game again in the 2nd half - even with Harris' foul trouble, Appling's injury (and all around mediocrity while in the game), and Trice's terrible play. Glad they won big, but it didn't feel like a big win to me.
