Point Spread: Michigan State -5.5
Prediction: Michigan
State begins its Big Ten Tournament today against Iowa, which is coming off a
73-59 win over Northwestern last night. These two met just once this year, with
MSU getting a 62-59 win at the Breslin. The Spartans have won five straight and
nine of their last 10 against the Hawkeyes. I see MSU getting the win again
today, but I think Iowa will make it a challenge. The Hawkeyes have been a
tough out all season, as seven of their nine Big Ten losses have come by single
digits. MSU may have to play from behind for a good portion of the game, but I
see the Spartans staying composed and grinding out the victory. Michigan State 67, Iowa 61
