1. Miles Bridges will record a triple-double

Miles Bridges didn’t like getting called out by Draymond Green for being “soft” so he will do something about it. He already snatched 21 rebounds the game after being called soft and now he’s going to do something that Draymond is known for: get a triple-double.

There’s no way a player of Bridges’ caliber will leave Michigan State without doing what the all-time greats do. He’s already proven himself as a better passer than he was a season ago and he has the ability to grab 10-plus rebounds when he’s motivated to do so.

Tom Izzo even said that Bridges likes making a good pass rather than a 3-pointer. This may or may not be true but he will make 10 good passes against Maryland, leading to 10 assists and he’ll add 12 rebounds and 17 points.

Although he’s not the typical triple-double threat, Bridges has the ability to do it all and it will be showcased Thursday night.
