1. Turnovers margin will be positive

Many have talked about how the Spartans’ Achilles heel this season has been turnovers. Many have brought this up but what they have not been talking about is the lack of ability to steal the ball.

Michigan State has one of the best defenses in the country but they do not produce steals. They just pressure the ball on the defensive end and make their opponents take tough shots.

There have not been many games in this season why the turnover margin has been in favor of the Spartans because of the lack of steals.

However, this game will be different.

The Spartans will win the turnover margin by five-plus. They will be able to get out into transition early and not look back for the rest of the game.
