Point Spread: Michigan
State -7
Prediction: Harvard
showed a lot of athleticism in its win over Cincinnati and the Crimson bring a
strong defense into this game. They give up just 60.4 points and allow the 17th
fewest rebounds in the country. Harvard will certainly play disciplined
basketball, but the Crimson don’t have the athletes to compete with the
Spartans. Michigan State continued to flourish offensively against Delaware.
The defense could have put up a better effort, but the Spartans don’t need a
lockdown defense to win this game. Michigan State is just playing at another
level right now. Harvard is a great story and the Crimson will put up a fight,
but the Spartans will eventually just be too much for them. Michigan State 74, Harvard 64
