1. Michigan State wins this game

Michigan State is traveling to Wisconsin where it has a record of 5-12 since the 2000-01 season. They have not played well when going to Madison but this game will be different.

With Max Christie holding the Badgers’ star player to his worst shooting percentage of the season and the Spartans winning the rebounding battle, this will put them in a great position to win. The Spartans will be able to get out into transition because they have will be able to rebound and that will allow the them to speed the game up.

The Badgers generally like to play slow, half-court offense and then slow down the opponents offense with their tough defense. The Badgers just wont be able to stop the fast and energized Gabe Brown and Christie.

Michigan State will win this game.

It will not be a dominant win, but they will figure out how to win another close contest. This will give the Spartans their best win of the season and prove to people that they are one of the top Big Ten teams.

Michigan State wins this game 67-66 in overtime.
