Michigan State Basketball: Game-by-game predictions for December 2020

Michigan State’s third ranked matchup of the month will be at home as Wisconsin comes to town for a top-10 battle. The Badgers could be undefeated at this point as well and they have one of the best rosters in the conference with essentially the same team back from last year when they won a share of the Big Ten title.

Wisconsin doesn’t often play well in East Lansing and that will play into the Spartans’ favor yet again as they secure their second straight Big Ten win to improve to 8-0 overall.

Gabe Brown is going to hit some big threes down the stretch and Marcus Bingham will swat some late shots that lead MSU to the win.

Final Score: Wisconsin 74, Michigan State 78 (8-1, 2-0)

I’m just not a big believer in Minnesota and I don’t think the program has really improved under Richard Pitino and this might just be his last year in Minneapolis. With that said, I think Michigan State plays well in this one and wins rather easily.

Marcus Carr could be a problem for the defense, but luckily Michigan State has elite perimeter defenders.

Final Score: Michigan State 76, Minnesota 65 (9-1, 3-0)
