Something I haven't seen anyone on this board talk about is that Skinn's replacement, Norwood, started 24 games last year. I've seen them play a few times and he's really a "sixth starter". And I also haven't seen anybody talk about the fact that last year a GMU team that wasn't as good as this year's lost to a better Sparty team than this year's by only 6 pts. on a neutral floor in DC. That game was close to the end until foul shots gave MSU the win (but not the cover). GMU actually matches up pretty well with MSU, even without Skinn. Sure Davis will have a size advantage but Jai Lewis is a big time player in the paint for GMU. And in that MSU game last year, Norwood had 10 points, five rebounds, four assists and five steals (tying a career-high). And of course Skinn's suspension was known ten days ago and was reflected in the line.
