    Against Michigan State, Strickland looked confident and energized, scoring nine points and dishing out three assists -- against zero turnovers -- in 14 productive minutes.
  2. spatial
    pertaining to the expanse in which things are located
    The excitement of that play, apparently, allowed the game to transcend normal spatial constraints and exist in Chapel Hill, Indy and Louisville at the same time.

    5.
  3. percent
    a proportion in relation to a whole
    The Spartans didn't defend well on the perimeter on Tuesday, as Carolina shot 50 percent from long distance, and its previously shaky floor generals, sophomore Larry Drew II and freshman Dexter Strickland (a converted shooting guard), combined for 27 points and nine assists against just three turnovers.
  4. underestimate
    make too low an approximation of
    While I still think they have an elite offense, I underestimated the impact of losing defensive stopper Travis Walton from the backcourt, and 6-foot-10 Goran Suton and 6-11 Idong Ibok from the frontcourt.
  5. perimeter
    a line enclosing a plane area
    The Spartans didn't defend well on the perimeter on Tuesday, as Carolina shot 50 percent from long distance, and its previously shaky floor generals, sophomore Larry Drew II and freshman Dexter Strickland (a converted shooting guard), combined for 27 points and nine assists against just three turnovers.
  6. team
    a cooperative unit
    I ranked the Spartans second in the preseason -- despite coach Tom Izzo's objections -- because I felt they had fewer flaws than any team not named Kansas.
  7. challenge
    a call to engage in a contest or fight
    Five things we learned from No. 10 North Carolina's 89-82 win over No. 9 Michigan State, and other ACC-Big Ten Challenge action on Tuesday ...

    1.
  8. accelerate
    move faster
    On Tuesday it was nice to see the Heels running again, getting into a near-90-point affair with the Spartans, who are usually more than willing to accelerate when playing outside the plodding Big Ten. Bbstate.com listed the game at a 78-possession pace, and while neither school's official box score listed fast break point totals as of Tuesday night, an open-court layup by Marcus Ginyard in the second half did elicit this rant from ESPN's Dick Vitale:

    "That's a little fast break drill...
  9. efficient
    being effective without wasting time, effort, or expense
    But these three things worry me at present:

    • When State lost to Florida, 77-74 on Nov. 27 in the Legends Classic, the Gators' offense was allowed to be more efficient (at 1.073 points per possession) that it was against Stetson (1.033) or Georgia Southern (1.040).
  10. elite
    a group or class of persons enjoying superior status
    While I still think they have an elite offense, I underestimated the impact of losing defensive stopper Travis Walton from the backcourt, and 6-foot-10 Goran Suton and 6-11 Idong Ibok from the frontcourt.
  11. assist
    give help; be of service
    The Spartans didn't defend well on the perimeter on Tuesday, as Carolina shot 50 percent from long distance, and its previously shaky floor generals, sophomore Larry Drew II and freshman Dexter Strickland (a converted shooting guard), combined for 27 points and nine assists against just three turnovers.
  12. tournament
    a competition in which contestants play a series of games
    It's still very early in the season, but the last two times Izzo had teams ranked that low -- in '05-06 (103rd) and '03-04 (97th) -- they both lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
  13. ability
    the quality of having the means or skills to do something
    State no longer has a lockdown artist or the ability to alter many shots in the paint.
  14. defend
    protect against a challenge or attack
    The Spartans didn't defend well on the perimeter on Tuesday, as Carolina shot 50 percent from long distance, and its previously shaky floor generals, sophomore Larry Drew II and freshman Dexter Strickland (a converted shooting guard), combined for 27 points and nine assists against just three turnovers.
  15. confident
    having or marked by assurance
    Against Michigan State, Strickland looked confident and energized, scoring nine points and dishing out three assists -- against zero turnovers -- in 14 productive minutes.
