First foul on Derrick Nix

Should be interest to see how Tom Izzo uses his personnel today, especially his frontline players. Derrick Nix just got his first foul. Adreian Payne looks ready to play, but he’s susceptible to quick fouls, too. Don’t be surprised if you see Alex Gauna get a few minutes just to give the other two guys a breather. Izzo’s rotation, and how often he goes to his bench, will be critical today against a well balanced team with plenty of inside-out scoring options.
