NCAA Basketball Season Preview: Michigan State (Big Ten Conference)
Michigan State Odds to Win National Title from Sportsbook.com: +500

The Michigan State Spartans made it to another Final Four last year. Tom Izzo and this team have made it a routine to get into the Final Four, which is quite an impressive feat. The fact that Izzo came back to East Lansing again this year was the best news of the year for this program. Spartan fans were disappointed with the loss to Butler to end the year, but Michigan State had a very good season. The Spartans appear set to have an even better team than last year, which could be trouble for the rest of the Big Ten.

Kalin Lucas is clearly the most important player on this team, and his injury during the second round of the NCAA Tournament made Michigan State’s run to the Final Four extremely improbable. The team appears to have great chemistry, and they certainly have the talent to make an even deeper run in the tournament this year.

Additions

The biggest addition to the Michigan State roster is Adreian Payne. Izzo has already called Payne “the most athletic big man we’ve ever had.” His athleticism will get him into the lineup early on, and I expect him to be a mismatch for many big men. Keith Appling was another big pickup for the Spartans. Appling was the state of Michigan’s player of the year in high school, and he is a very explosive point guard.

Subtractions

Raymar Morgan is the biggest loss for the program. Morgan was a solid forward who did a lot of dirty work for his team. Chris Allen has also left the program, which will leave the team with a little less depth in the backcourt. Overall, the team kept most of its top players from a year ago.

Key Players

Kalin Lucas- Lucas is recovering from a serious injury. He is a great point guard who runs the offense efficiently. He must stay healthy all year for this team to get to where they want to go.

Durrell Summers- The NBA scouts absolutely love Summers, and he is the perfect candidate for a breakout season in 2010-2011. He has a sweet jump shot and terrific quickness, but he must become more consistent this year.

Delvon Roe- Izzo is extremely high on Roe. Roe has had all kinds of injury trouble, but he has been healthy this summer, and he appears ready for a huge year. He is a great rebounder and is great at finishing around the rim.

Draymond Green- Green is a terrific athlete who has the skills to play on the perimeter, but he is as good of a rebounder as you’ll see in the Big Ten. He needs to improve his conditioning so he can log more minutes, but he’ll be a force to be reckoned with this year.

Interesting Fact- Tom Izzo has led Michigan State to the Final Four in 6 of the last 12 seasons. There isn’t another coach in college basketball that can make the same claim over that time period.

Strengths

Michigan State is a team that will wear down many of their opponents because of their great power forwards. Expect the Spartans to be one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. Michigan State is athletic all over the court, which is a huge plus.

Weakness

The question as to whether Lucas is fully healthy is definitely a concern. Roe is also a concern because of his past. Spartan fans hope injuries don’t hold them back once again.

Postseason

The Spartans should be one of the #1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. I think Izzo and his team will be in the Final Four once again this year.
