2. Frankie Fidler dominates - again

Frankie Fidler has been putting on quite the show so far in Moneyball. Night one on Tuesday he exploded for 32 points, but Thursday night he topped that.

Fidler scored a game high 40 points which included a whopping five 3-pointers. He also was a perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line as well, which is something you always love to see.

It’s no secret that Fidler will play a huge role on the team next year. He will be a starter for the team and likely one of the go to guys whenever Michigan State needs a bucket.

Last year at Omaha, he averaged 20 points which would be amazing if he did that again at MSU. I unfortunately don't really think it’s that possible for him to average 20, especially considering Tyson Walker couldn’t do it, but even him scoring 15 points a game would be huge.

Michigan State fans are rightfully excited for the addition of Fidler, and he is backing that up so far in Moneyball.
