A.Hoggard u12.5 Pts-106

Under in 8/L12, taking more of a facilitator role. 85 of his 127 made baskets are in the paint, and USC is elite at protecting the interior (2nd lowest opp 2P % in nation - even better numbers in the paint).
Reads more of a drive and dish game, and a bigger spot for Tyson Walker and Joey Hauser.

Columbus is effectively a home game for MSU so fans will be loud and USC is tipping off at what will feel like 9:15am local to them. Pretty even profiles but slow USC start makes sense.
