This is a great get by

. Izzo likes to have our teams run, but most of the game is played in the half court and we constantly get killed every year by other teams forcing out of the middle. Good to have a guy like Nix that can stand his ground and pull down big boards, like the kind we couldn't get in the first half against Memphis. Izzo is putting together a well rounded team that can run when he wants or sit back and play half court if needed. This guy will provide the physical toughness this team has been lacking the past few years. Welcome to
MSU Derrick Nix.
