Season Record: 39 - 27
(Sparty Bets): 11 - 4
Haven't posted since last Sunday, for Saturday.....
Michigan State +9.....At this stage of the season, in a game of this magnitude, I'm gonna take Izzo +9 more often than not. Both Draymond and Izzo have stated publicly how important this game is. They're saying they're going to approach this game like it is a NCAA Tourney game. MSU should be able to outrebound the Buckeyes, and although the home refs usually allow Craft to mug opposing PG's, I think MSU will take good enough care of the ball to make this a close game.
The thing that scares me is that Buford has gone off v.s. Sparty over the course of his career, and if he hits a couple of early shots and MSU starts out cold, then tOSU may jump on 'em early. But if MSU is able to "weather the early storm," I expect them to hang around all evening. Izzo really has a ton of depth to play with and enough big's to bang with Sullinger. I really like the emergence of Freshman Branden Dawson the last couple weeks, as he has looked head-and-shoulders above everybody on the court at times. If he is able to have a similar impact on this game like he has had on the previous 4 or 5, that may be enough to elevate MSU into a position where they could even pull off the upset. But I think we see a hard-fought game with tOSU ultimately winning by 4-6 points.
