Homework Assignment: Two things to watch for MSU/Memphis
Joey Dorsey
If you don’t know him he’ll be the only guy Memphis will have in the paint on offense. When he’s shooting FT’s, you’ll know it’s him when mothers pull their children away from the first two rows.
What to look for? Notice how Dorsey will stay on the weakside block to aid teammates looking to penetrate.
MSU Guarding the Wings
Don’t be surprised if Izzo plays the wings soft on defense. It’ll be nearly as tough on Tom as HenryJames’ avoiding a Dokken cover band, but Izzo will be concerned by the Tigers’ dribble penetration, and elect to shut it down with wing help in exchange for perimeter looks.

Dokken was dead to me the day George Lynch left.

An Izzo team plays out of its comfort zone for the first 10 minutes, gets behind and then quits.
Not what I expected.
