Whos everyone got tonight in the armed forces classic? I like MSU in the early game. Us vs IU i think will be a low scroing battle, it will be interesting to see how they play on the offensive end without Yogi. I'm thinking if we can keep them off the offensive glass and turn them over (they ranked in the high 200s LY) we will be successful, Kansas 72 IU 65
Thanks to the Vets on this site and around the world today.
Michigan St should win the first game rather easily. Arizona is down to 8 scholarship healthy/eligible players. Allozo Trier possibly out for the year just tanks their season and he didn't travel to Hawaii. Can't see them winning.
I do think the IU/KU game will be high scoring. IU likes to play fast and KU always plays to the opponent. Fundamentals will be key in this one. I think KU will win by 6-10 points.
I'm thinking a 5-8 point win for KU in a foul fest.
MSU will beat Zona I think. If Zona had their full compliment of players they would have rolled. Lauri might be able to save them though, kid is a stud.
@kjayhawks thx from me too! We have some of the best on here, maybe some could share their experience?
@kjayhawks KU 89 IU 81.
@kjayhawks KU wins.
Poor Stumpy.
He just doesn't seem quite as impressive without the long stacks.
Know nothing about IU.
Can't predict.
A little off topic, but I'm watching Nova right now playing Lafayette. I know they are not playing a good opponent, but Nova looks like the same team that got hot in the tourney last year. Their defense is really good. IMO, they should be the front runner for making the final weekend, not Duke.
@HawkChamp fuck Nova lol true story tho
Even with Trier, Arizona is not a top ten team this year. MSU has the talent to make the final four.

I agree but they did have the potential, same as Michigan St who is replacing it's top 3 players and must rely on freshman
Both teams will play like crap and the game will look like a big oh turd.
KU wins. Too much depth, experience, and talent.

Meh. Need to see them play a real team or two first. Lack of a post presence will hurt them.
@kjayhawks language....
KU wins 150-90 and Vick records first triple double of his career.
Michigan St not looking good after a 17-2 lead. Zona playing good d
Check out my non-KU games thread. Looking for participants watching other games. Until the KU game starts of course lol.
