Michigan State: 1:00

My thoughts on Michigan State today.

Wisconsin has been sneaky good all season, but this is a brutal matchup for them. John Tonje is a master at drawing fouls, and the Badgers’ offense runs through him—but that didn’t matter in their first meeting with Michigan State. Wisconsin put up just 62 points in that game, and Tonje was completely shut down, going 3-for-13 from the field with only four free throw attempts.

Now, he has to go up against a Michigan State defense that just held Shelstad to 8 points yesterday. The Spartans are locked in. Their off-ball movement is elite, and they’ll kill you with baseline cuts, face cuts, and constant action. They have multiple guards who can go iso and create their own shot at any time, which makes them nearly impossible to defend when they’re clicking.

After watching MSU dominate yesterday (I was on them), I don’t see many teams in the country beating them right now. Wisconsin is going to struggle again, and I fully expect the Spartans to handle business and punch their ticket to the Big Ten Championship without much trouble. 

I won’t be surprised if they win by double digits.

And BOL on your plays today

 Thanks for the input.

Panically checked my ticket. Phew!!! Fortunately, I’m taking them today not a future on the National Championship.

 So vs Wisconsin?

They also held Maryland to 55. 

Hard to go against Michigan State but also hard to not grab the 3.5 for a neutral game. I got the 3.5 , though I see it's 3 now. That I dislike I hoped everyone would be on State's nuts. 

Michigan State is really well coached team and they win in most of the comparisons but my gut says Wisconsin won't go away
