The number 2 and 3 seeds in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament East Regional meet up in the Sweet 16 tonight in D.C. 

Michigan State and LSU hook up this evening.  Do basketball fans think the Bayou Bengals can take care of business against the Spartans? 

One basketball fan told us that unfortunately, she doesn't think the Tigers can pull through this time.

"I don't think so because Tom Izzo is going to put a great game plan together against LSU," she said. Even so, she said she her and her husband will be tuned in to the game.    

"I think they can," one man told us, "but I believe Michigan State is going to be heavily favored in this one." 

"I believe Waters is going to have to get his teammates involved early in the game," another man said.  "They have to control the boards."

"LSU is up against a good coach but I think they'll advance, even making it to the Final 4," another fan said.      Tipoff tonight is scheduled at 6:09. Catch the game here on WWL with coverage beginning at 4 p.m. on SportsTalk and 8 p.m. from the LSU Radio Network.
