#7 MICHIGAN State vs #1 DUKE in "CAMPUS HARDWOOD" Final 4 2K15 w/PLAYBOOK..."SPARTY" is a different Team than the one the BLUE DEVILS hammered back on November 2K14 as the Stakes couldn't be any higher than this....#MichStvsDuke #Sparty #BlueDevils #Final4Gm1

The Spartans dba "IZZONE" are riding that wave and it is any ones ball game right now and they know it. The Blue Devils are primed to get to the championship on Monday but they need to focused on "Green" and nothing but "Green" or they will be dunzo!

Tom Izzo vs Mike Krzyzewski doesn't get any bigger than this. The Spartans are running on Trio of PG Travis Trice, SG Denzel Valentine, and WF/SF/PF Branden Dawson. The Blue Devils will counter that with a Trio just 11 month or so removed from Senior Prom in Justice Winslow, "Big Jah" Jahlil Okafor, and Tyus Jones. Look forget its upper class men vs freshman as its the Final 4 and in this tilt their cane only be one advancing!

PLAYBOOK 

The Blue Devils must slow down Trice especially in the half court...

The Spartans must contain both Jones and Cook as both are "Clutch" when "Clutch" gets that call...

Schilling and Matt Costello have ten fouls and the no lay-up rule playing Jahlil Okafor must be in effect...put him on the line if your beat...no flagrant fouls!

Sparty needs something from Dawson on offense as he must get out in transition and get on the offensive glass as Jefferson I don't think can handle him...

Sparty goes if Trice goes and Duke goes if Cook goes as they are the two key players...

Run all shooters off the arc as trading three's for two's is imperative especially in a game of this magnitude...

If State doubles "Big Jah" the defensive rotations must be crisp but if the shooter is ball side be careful (Cook, T. Jones, M. Jones)...don't leave them to double "Big Jah"...

Coach Izzo vs Coach K as they are fixtures in March Madness and let the Chess Match begin...

Justice Winslow and Denzel Valentine the Custodians (Handy Andy dab Do-It-All Players) for their respective teams and they will have an impact somewhere...

Turnovers vs "Live" Turnovers for TD's in Coach Izzo's words...

"Scrums" 50/50 Nike Oranges (Basketballs) who wins...

Offensive Glass will be huge with extra possessions...who gets it done?

"Execution" who handles it better?

"Hustle Board" who wins that will put one Nike Scooby Doo in the winner's circle....
