2. Spartans win rebounding battle by 15-plus

In Sunday’s game, the Spartans struggled to rebound the ball. That is something that is not often seen by a Tom Izzo-led team. They are so good at being aggressive and getting after the rebounds. This will be the case on Monday.

The Spartans will win the rebounding margin by 15-plus boards. They will also win the offensive rebounds by seven and be on their way to a solid victory. The Spartans have shown that they might struggle with rebounding in some games but this will not be the game.

The Spartans average 40.9 rebounds per game but they will beat this number by a wide margin coming down with 50-plus rebounds.

Rebounding will not be an issue in this contest.
