Scouting report

  • One area that MSU should have the edge is in rebounding as MSU will have a significant height advantage over Middle Tennessee's 6'7" and 6'8" frontcourt players. While MTSU does have a good defensive rebounding percentage, it's an unadjusted number and they only had 4 Tier B opponents (top 100) with zero Tier A opponents (top 50).
