Michigan State has checked in as the No. 7 seed in the East region of the NCAA Tournament and is set to face off against the USC Trojans. USC poses a very interesting matchup with Michigan State, and is going to put the pressure on one Spartan to bring his A-game on the defensive end of the floor.
While everyone knows USC star Boogie Ellis, I believe the true x-factor on the Trojans team is Drew Peterson. Peterson is a 6’9″ wing that averages 14 points per game, but the key is he is averaging over 15 points per game in wins for USC, while only averaging around 10 points per game in the Trojans losses. Limiting Peterson on the offensive end should be of the upmost priority for the Spartans.
