    The Skinny

    Michigan State has a couple of starters injured which makes them just a really good team instead of a probable Final Four team at the moment. The Spartans can shoot from anywhere and set up clean shot attempts through crisp ball movement. Michigan St's height makes rebounding a challenge and scoring in the paint a problem. It's an uphill battle for a Husker squad that has struggled on the road this year.

    The Spartans almost always score over 70 at home whereas the Huskers struggle to 60 on the road. It's going to be hard to overpower the Spartans and thus the Huskers will attempt to slow down the tempo to keep the score manageable. Look for the Huskers to also pack the paint as much as possible and dare MSU to beat them via the 3, which could easily be a disaster.

    Prediction: Michigan St 68 - Nebraska 56
