Northern Illinois Huskies
The first thing that stand out on Northern Illinois’ results page is that four of its five losses have come by a combined twelve points.
Two of those narrow defeats came to Northern Kentucky. Those two teams are separated by just thirteen places in KenPom’s power rankings.

The one big loss on the Huskies’ schedule came at Butler, by twenty-seven points. NIU was blown out despite winning the free throw battle. Butler made it rain from three, hitting seventeen out of thirty-two attempts.
It wasn’t just Butler, though. Opponents are shooting over thirty-seven percent on high volume from outside against NIU this season.
Michigan State Spartans
Michigan State doesn’t depend on the three. It ranks right in the middle of the country, nationally, in three-point attempts but it’s in the top-twenty with a 39.9 percent make rate.
Surprise, surprise. What the Spartans do really well is defend, where they hold opponents around thirty-seven percent from the field.

The Spartans are about twenty-two points better than Northern Illinois, according to KenPom and should be able to assert themselves with both talent and physical dominance.
One concern with Sparty: turnovers. The Michigan State offense has committed twenty-one more turnovers than the defense has forced so far. That isn’t anything you see from a national champion.
