The Islanders came on strong at the end of the season and blew a 17 point lead to Wisconsin in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament. We handled the islanders easily at the Hump last season 96-72. I remember this game in particular b/c this had to be Ben's best game of the season. He had 23pts, 8 assists, 0 turnovers 3 steals and was blazing behind the arc where he was 5-6. The only thing going against MSU for this game will be that Dogs will be coming off a trip to Los Angeles only 2 days earlier and they will be away from the Hump. The islanders return a player in preseason Southland Conference Player of the Year Chris Daniels. Daniels is 7-0 265 and can bang with the big boys and is a legitimate NBA prospect. This will be a great opportunity for Jarvis to show off his improved interior skills and get ready for SEC play. The islanders have a new coach in Perry Clark after Ronnie Arrow took the job at USA. The dogs didn't have any trouble last season with the beachbumbs, and don't see that changing any time soon.
Matthew 6:30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Daniels certainly is NBA ready. he has the body and skills already. its a rare combo for a 7footer in college.
but this is a game that most certainly needs to be a mark in the win column.
