TORONTO -- Understandably, Ryan Nelsen is torn about Jermain Defoe and the World Cup. Talk to the Toronto FC manager and he lists off the reasons why his star striker should go to Brazil. But he better than anyone knows that Englands gain would be his loss. "Look, for Toronto FC Id love him to stay obviously, because hes a quality player," said Nelsen, who captained New Zealand at the 2010 World Cup. "But for Jermain, if I was the England manager, I probably would pick him. Because you know what youre going to get with him -- you absolutely know what youre going to get with him." Defoe, who played at the 2010 World Cup, offers England experience and a scoring touch off the bench. He has potted goals everywhere he has played -- including 19 in 55 appearances for his country. The 31-year-old striker says he is in the dark, waiting for the phone to ring. "Its down to the manager," said Defoe, referring to England boss Roy Hodgson. "He picks the squad. "Im sure he knows what every player can do. And even before he was the England manager, he probably knew all the players anyway. So Im sure that the manager knows his squad. And he probably knew his squad a long time ago -- maybe just one or two additions that youre not sure about. "I dont know. Its up to the manager. As players, you just concentrate on playing for your club and then, like you said, you wait for the call." Hodgson has apparently made up his mind. He is set to announce his 23-man squad Monday as well as seven standby players. "Ive known for a while," he is quoted on Englands Football Association website. England will travel to Portugal on May 19 for a training camp that runs through May 23. The squad will reassemble May 27 with a friendly against Peru at Wembley on May. 20. The 23-man World Cup squad will be confirmed June 2. England has friendlies June 3 against Ecuador and June 7 against Honduras, both in Miami, before heading to Brazil for its World Cup opener June 14 against Italy. Realistically Defoe is hoping to land a spot as a reserve striker with Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck of Manchester United, Daniel Sturridge of Liverpool and perhaps Rickie Lambert of Southampton ahead in the pecking order. Given that, some argue that it would make more sense to take a younger player over Defoe. The argument there is that it would be an investment in the future. Nelsen sees the other side to that coin, suggesting his man has the seasoning and mental toughness to survive the England spotlight. "Probably the Brazil and the England national team are the hardest teams in world sport to play for, in terms of expectation and pressure," he said. "You know Jermain can handle that. On the worlds biggest stage, you want to kind off knock out the variables. And I think Jermain does that." "With my TFC hat on, I hope he doesnt (go). I hope he stays here," Nelson added with a laugh. Barring injury, U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley and Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar will leave Toronto for the World Cup. Nelsen expects Cesar to leave his team after the May 23 game against Sporting Kansas City. "Jermain, if he does (go), (will be) roughly about the same time," he added. "(U.S. manager Juergen Klinsmann) Juergen wants Michael now. Or tomorrow," Nelsen said with a smile. "But were trying to hold that. I think for Michael, it will probably be the 19th or the 20th that we lose him." The World Cup runs June 12 to July 13.

The winner of this game will move into the championship game and take on either Kansas or Tennessee. Tom Izzos Spartans have lost just once this season and that was a 10-point setback to powerhouse Duke (81-71) as part of the Champions Classic. Michigan State has put that loss in the rearview mirror however, with lopsided wins over Loyola Chicago (87-52), Santa Clara (79-52) and most recently, Rider (77-45) on Thursday in this event. Steve Wojciechowski is in his first season as head coach at Marquette. The Golden Eagles have now moved over .500 at 3-2 on the year. The team came into this tournament with wins over UT Martin (79-63) and NJIT (62-57) bracketing losses to Ohio State (74-63) and Nebraska Omaha (97-89). On Thursday, Marquette was able to hold off a tough Georgia Tech team and prevail, 72-70. These two teams have some history, with this representing the 55th all-time meeting. Michigan State holds a 31-23 series advantage. The Spartans made light work of Rider in Thursdays tournament action, as they held the Broncs to their lowest scoring output in two seasons. MSU held Rider to a mere four first-half field goals and never looked back from there. The Broncs managed to shoot an anemic .258 from the floor in the game, including just 1-of-13 from behind the arc (.077). Meanwhile, Michigan State had four players notch double-digit point totals, starting with Denzel Valentines 19 points. Bryn Forbes checked in with 15 points, while Travis Trice and Gavin Schilling tallied 10 points apiece.dddddddddddd Michigan State is getting it done with offensive efficiency and stifling defense this season. The team is shooting a scorching .505 from the floor overall and putting up 75.6 ppg, while giving up just 57.8 and holding foes well under 40 percent accuracy from the floor (.361). Although he didnt have his best game of the season against Rider, Trice still paces the team with 16.4 points and 6.4 assists per game. Valentine is next in the scoring column with 12.4 ppg, followed closely by Branden Dawson and his 12.0 ppg. Further depth comes in the form of Forbes (9.4 ppg) and Marvin Clark Jr. (9.0 ppg). It was Matt Carlinos day to shine for Marquette as the BYU transfer erupted for a career-high 38 points against Georgia Tech on Thursday. All eight of Carlinos field goals came behind the arc (8-of-14), while he went 14-of-16 at the free-throw line as well. Juan Anderson was a distant second for Marquette in the scoring column, finishing with 12 points in the narrow victory. Marquette hasnt left much of a cushion in terms of scoring margin, as the team is sitting at +0.8 through five games. The Golden Eagles are averaging 73.0 ppg on .440 shooting, but have allowed the opposition to shoot a much more efficient .498 overall. Anderson leads the team in both scoring (15.4 ppg) and rebounding (7.0 rpg) and is shooting a healthy 630 from the field. Carlinos big game has pushed him into second on the team in scoring at 14.4 ppg, followed by Duane Wilsons 10.6 ppg.
