Michigan State basketball is closing out its regular season on Saturday afternoon against an Ohio State team that is really making some noise lately with wins over Illinois and Maryland.

The Spartans are 18-11 and looking to add one last win to their resume before the Big Ten Tournament and stay alive in the hopes of a double-bye and top-four seed. Ohio State, on the other hand, is just trying to ruin seasons at this point.

Let’s get bold ahead of Michigan State’s Senior Day battle.

3. All three senior scholarship players score 10-plus

It’s a big day for the three senior scholarship players. It could be the last time we see Joey Hauser, Tyson Walker, and Malik Hall suiting up for the green and white at home.

Of course, all have the option to come back for one more season, but there’s next to no chance that all three opt to do so — just a gut feeling.

So why not go out on top if this is potentially their last game? I think we’ll see all three have big games as Walker scores in the 20-range again, Hauser finishes with around 15, and Hall adds 12 points and six rebounds off the bench.

All three will kiss the Spartan logo and be sent off to a standing ovation after great performances. Hopefully 1-2 of them get to do this again next year.
