This Big Ten conference game will see the Minnesota Golden Gophers take on the Michigan State Spartans.
Sparty is the last remaining undefeated team in Big Ten conference play and will be looking to continue that winning streak.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Gophers are not having a great season, but they did pick up their second Big Ten win this past weekend over Northwestern. They won this game 77-68 and now have a conference record of 2-2.
Offense has been somewhat consistent this season as they are averaging 74.6 points per game. In four conference games, they are averaging 72.8 points per game, so a slight dip in production.
The Minnesota offense is led by Daniel Oturu. He is averaging 19.1 points per game. In the game against Northwestern, he had exactly 19 points, but also had 16 rebounds. This just shows how important he is to the Golden Gophers and means he is going to have to have a career type game against the 8th ranked Spartans.
Behind Oturu is Marcus Carr, who averages 15.9 points per game.
The one problem with Minnesota is they shoot the ball at just 43.7%. In road games, this shooting average drops to 35.5%

Rankings will not show it, but the Gophers have a decent defense, allowing an average of 66.1 points per game. In road games however, their average goes up to 73 points allowed per game. Pretty much one thing needs to happen if they are going to take down Sparty. That would be limiting Cassius Winston.
Michigan State Spartans
The Spartans had a great time crushing Michigan at home last time they took the court. The score to this game was 87-69 and it was never really in doubt. Since losing to Duke on the 3rd of December, Michigan State has won seven games in a row and find themselves back in the top 10.
Overall, their offense has been throwing up plenty of points all year long. They average 81.7 points per game, the 13th ranked scoring offense in the country. They shoot the ball at 47.1% from the field, but in home games this percentage goes up to 49.6%.
Success for Michigan State starts with Cassius Winston. He is averaging 18.9 points per game and just dropped 32 on the Wolverines. Behind him in scoring is Xavier Tillman, who has posted an average of 13.9 points per game.
The Spartans have not had all that many issues limiting teams this season. They allow 64.1 points per game this season and really have only struggled against the top teams they have played like Duke and Kentucky. In four Big Ten games, they are allowing 65.5 points per game, but only one Big Team team has scored more than 70 points against them.

Free Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Michigan State Spartans NCAAB Prediction:
Michigan State is the superior team and they will likely crush the Gophers to remain undefeated in the conference.
I like the under in this game because the Spartans play much better defense on their home floor.
