MSU vs UL-Lafayette - Preview/GameThread

YOUR MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS vs. THE LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE RAGIN CAJUNS
JACK BRESLIN STUDENT EVENTS CENTER - EAST LANSING, MI
NOVEMBER 25, 2012, Noon ET

Still enjoying the holiday weekend and the football win, so another short preview here.

Then again, I don't think you care to read much about Louisiana-Lafayette. Also, this game isn't on TV, again. What's the point of all these sports channels if regular season home games can't be on TV?

Anyway, the Ragin Cajuns aren't very good. They're 2-3 with wins over Oakland (90-79) and Southern New Orleans (79-57) with losses to Texas Southern, Boise State and New Mexico State. KenPom ranks them as the No. 244 team in the country.

eFG% of 45.4 (234th in nation), OR% of 25.6 (299th), shooting 43.6 percent on two-pointers.

Looking at their individual stats, the player to watch is Shawn Long (15 points, 7.6 rebounds per game). Bryan Mbamalu averages 11.4 and 4.4. Elfrid Payton averages 10.8 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds.
