Michigan St Spartans

Head Coach: Tom Izzo
Location: East Lansing, MI
Conference: B1G

Nickname: Spartans 
Mascot: Sparty
Last time out: Lost to Indiana

Conference Record: 14-4
Typical Rotation Depth: 7
Line: Michigan St by 14

 

Player to watch: Cassius Winston

 

The Junior PG is the real deal and is one of the top assist men in the conference. With the loses of Nick Ward and Joshua Langford teams can key on Winston and he's still performing like a POTY.

 

Players out for this game:

Isaac Copeland, Thomas Allen, Joshua Langford, Nick Ward

 

The Skinny:

Despite a close road loss to Indiana the Spartans have weathered their injuries and were able to knock of Michigan on the road. Nebraska hasn't played well on the road since giving their all vs Michigan St back in January and coming up short.  

 

Nebraska has had 5 days to prepare for this game but it's tough seeing this team pulling it together on the road. 

 

Prediction: Michigan St 71 - Nebraska 56
