its because Butler dictated the tempo.. Cuse and K-state like to push push push.. when buckets dont fall the team with he slower tempo has the advantage.. well guess what Mich St. plays about the same tempo at Butler and will not get discouraged..
Lucas missing has not been a big deal for Mich St. still don't understand why people don't realize they can play without him.. they did earlier in the year, least we forget the team being forced to come together to compensate for him missing.. they are playing as good if not better with him missing from the lineup..
here is the stat thats gonna make all the difference in this game
Mich St out rebounds their opponents by 9.3 a game
Butler out rebounds their opponents by 2.6 a game
