This is a game where I really think how the refs call the game could be a huge factor.
We've been better at defending without fouling lately (I think Mara patrolling the paint is helping with that), but both teams are physical teams, tho Michigan St more with the body, and us with the hands.
If the refs skew their foul calls one way or the other it could really give a team an advantage (and usually, it's the handsy calls they call more than body blows, so odds are we may be sending them to the foul line more).
