Game pits speed vs. brawn
Posted Mar 17, 2007
No. 9 seed MSU (23-11) plays UNC (29-6) at Joel Coliseum at about 8:30 p.m., and Tom Izzo is concerned about the Tar Heels playing "at warp speed." "We have to figure out how to slow them down, and you do that with team defense and team rebounding," said the veteran coach, who has won a national championship and guided four teams to the Final Four during his tenure in East Lansing.
