Game day primer

Using newspaper lingo, here are the "advance," the  "sidebar" (on Jud Heathcote), and the tipoff.
Also, check out this blog entry from columnist Mike Lucas of The Capital Times on the MSU-Wisconsin rivalry.

   Not much left to be said before tipoff. The plan is for Travis Walton to start on Joe Krabbenhoft, an interesting move for MSU, but the Spartans are wary of Krabbenhoft's all-around impact on the game. I would still expect Walton to see a lot of Trevon Hughes today as well, and for Raymar Morgan to spend some time jousting with Krabbenhoft.
