NCAA Elite 8 Preview: #2 Michigan State vs #1 Louisville

Midwest Regional Final

No. 1 Louisville vs. No. 2 Michigan State
Sunday/2:20 EDT/CBS

Early Take: It's pretty clear that Michigan State is going to have to make this a half-court game. Louisville's depth and trapping defense is going to make life difficult for Lucas to run the offense. But if he can break the initial press, the Spartans can then run it. But the Cardinals present too many matchup problems between Clark, Samuels and Williams. If the Spartans' low block game can't get them out of rhythm, then it's going to be a long night. Despite a great season by the Big Ten regular season champions, the Big East regular season and tournament champions won't be stopped.
