1/23 Pre-Lucious Suspension

I do not understand Michigan State. I saw them in Hawaii and immediately thought they had the most talent in the NCAA and that they would gel into a powerhouse.  The problem I have now is that I still have such supreme confidence in them that I'm turning into an idiot as I keep expecting them to win. The pieces they have are ridiculous lucious and lucas at the guards with lucious already having the experience of carrying a team to the FF. Roe, Summers, and Green are all big, athletic, and at least at times have the ability to shoot.  Last night they seemed to give up a lot of points, I didn't see the game so I can't really comment on their defense, however Purdue can put points up there so it isn't a surprise. Also, Izzo. He is definitively a great coach, so from day 1 when I saw the talent he had I thought he would bring them together. And I still have so much confidence in them that I'm able to make excuses, Lucas 3-16, and think that "oh, well if he shoots better they'll win". Lucas is in a serious 3 game shooting slump. This has turned into a bit of a ramble but am I wrong to still think they can go to the final four?
