Michigan State Spartans
Overall, I would say that it has been a good season for Michigan State. At times, they have had an issue with some consistency, but for the most part, I have liked what I have seen out of them.
The Spartans picked up a win over the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday by a score of 68-65. They will look to carry over that strong play when they face their rival on the road in this one.
Their last victory was very impressive and it showed that when this team is on their game, they can take down some of the best teams in the nation. It is hard not to like what you saw from them in that ball game.
I really liked the way they played defense in their last game, as holding a team like Purdue to that few points is no easy task. Even though they allowed Zach Edey to have a very good game, nobody else for the Boilermakers really made a huge impact in that one.
Michigan Wolverines
It continues to be an up-and-down season for Michigan. This was a team that was expected to play a lot better than they have been and they simply have not been able to figure things out.
The Wolverines come into this game with a record of 15-12. Needless to say, every possible win that they can get is going to be crucial for them if they wish to make it to March Madness.
This team lost to the Illinois Fighting Illini on Sunday by a score of 93-85. They made things a lot closer in the second half, but they still did not have enough answers for a team that is just better than they are.
Offensively, I did not have a lot of issues with the way they played in their last game, but the defense did not play well enough. It is hard to allow a team to score that many points and expect to win the contest.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Michigan State ATS
Even though the Wolverines are the favorite, I still consider the Spartans to be the better team. They will have to show that when they play in the tough environment that is the Crisler Center.
Michigan would be able to make a big statement win here if they got this win. Despite what some people might say, I still do not feel it is a lock that this crew will make it to the Madness, so clearly a win here would help them a lot.
In this spot, I just cannot trust laying the 4 points the Wolverines. Honestly, it would not shock me if Sparty won the game outright.
I like Michigan State at +4 here.
