3. Malik Hall can be the guy when he wants to be

Malik Hall had a team-high 17 points. He was all over the court, getting to his spots and making his turnaround jumpers. The Spartan captain was also getting to the loose balls for some second-chance points. He ended with only three rebounds but all of them were offensive for the opportunity for second chances.

Hall has the ability to be the guy. We have seen it multiple times this season but he just follows a good game up with a few poor performances and he disappears. He has to stay aggressive all game. He has been aggressive in a few games but when he is, he looks like he is forcing his offense.

Hall needs to settle down and let his game come to him. He must be aggressive by getting to his spots and hitting his shots. Stay aggressive on the boards. He has great footwork on the block when the defender lets him get a bounce or two in order to set his feet.

The junior needs to be the guy and step up for the postseason. These Spartans need him if they want to win some games in either tournament.
