Sunday, December 16th brings an exciting NCAA basketball matchup your way as the Green Bay Phoenix travel to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans live from the Breslin Center.
The Spartans have won the last four meetings between these two schools, with the last meeting taking place more than a decade ago on December, 29th, 2007. Michigan State won that game by a score of 93-75.
Green Bay Phoenix
Green Bay comes into this game losers of two out of their last three games, and frankly, they don’t look to be too much of a threat to the Spartans here on Sunday. They currently have a 1-4 record in their opposing teams gyms, and I don’t see them getting win number two in this one.
The Phoenix have been scoring an average of 79.8 points per game, which is a very respectable stat, but they are giving up nearly five points more than that per game to their opponents. Michigan State can light it up from time to time, so Green Bay will have to tighten up their defensive play if they want to stand a chance in this game.

In two December games so far Green Bay has gotten over the 100 point plateau, scoring 112 against Wisconsin-Stout, and an even 100 against Belmont, but I think they will be below their average of just under 80 here on Sunday.
In their loss to Creighton on Friday night, Senior G Sandy Cohen III led all Phoenix players in scoring with 20 points in 32 minutes. He also led the team in rebounds with 10. Green Bay shot a dismal 35% from the field in that game, 22.7% from deep and 69.2% from the line. They will have to shoot better and get Cohen some offensive help if they want to compete with the Spartans.
Injury Report: Green Bay has no injuries to report for Sunday’s game.
#9 Michigan State Spartans
Michigan State has now won three games in a row since their defeat to Louisville back on November 27th. Over that span they knocked off two conference foes in Rutgers and #22 Iowa, plus they beat Florida on the 8th 63-59.
The Spartans are scoring an average of 84.8 points per game, which is more than Green Bay has been giving up per game this year. Defensively, Michigan State is holding their opponents to 67.7 points per game. All of this spells trouble for the Phoenix on Sunday.

Michigan State has had a pretty calm December so far, this will only be their third game of the month, but the next few games look to be a pretty easy schedule for the Spartans to really finish off the year with a bang.
In their last game against Florida, the Spartans shot better than 50% from the field, and 87.5% from the line. Sophomore F Xavier Tillman led all Michigan State scorers with 14 points and 9 rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench.
Injury Report: F Nick Ward is listed as “questionable” for Sunday, while G Nick Washington is listed as “out.”

Michigan State is clearly the better team in this matchup on Sunday, and I would expect them to mop the floor with the Green Bay Phoenix. This one has the makings of a blowout.
