Point Spread: Michigan
State -19.5
Prediction: Michigan
State could have everything to play for tonight if Michigan takes care of
business against Indiana. If the Indiana-Michigan game is close, the Spartans
won’t know for sure what the Big Ten situation looks like at the tip of its
game, so they should go in with the attitude that this game is for the title.
Northwestern has been a mess the last month and the Wildcats are probably
looking to get the regular season over with quickly. With it being senior day
for MSU, I don’t see the Spartans lacking energy on the floor. They should be
able to take care of business right from the start. I don’t feel comfortable
saying MSU will cover this lofty spread, but I do see it winning comfortably. Michigan State 62, Northwestern 47
