1. MSU, Michigan meet again in title game — with different result

Everyone loves a good rivalry game and Michigan and Michigan State fans have seen two already this season which have resulted in a couple of Spartan victories.

We will see rivalry matchup No. 3 in the Big Ten Tournament title game. The Spartans and Wolverines will give all conference fans the game they want to see (assuming their favorite team has already been eliminated) as Michigan State and Michigan will face off in yet another top-10 battle — the third of the season.

This will have all the intrigue that the first two matchups have had, but this time around, the Wolverines will get the best of the Spartans.

Unfortunately, Michigan will make the plays down the stretch to avoid major scoring droughts to beat the Spartans by four points to win its third straight Big Ten tourney title.
