2. Six Spartans score in double figures

Michigan State has had some balanced scoring this season with just as much firepower coming off the bench that's in the starting lineup.

That continues on Sunday afternoon.

This team is known for having multiple double-digit scorers on any given night and they're usually different combinations. One night it could be Jaden Akins, Coen Carr, and Xavier Booker and the next it could be Szymon Zapala, Carson Cooper, and Jase Richardson. It just really depends on the matchups and the day.

On Sunday, Michigan State will see six different players score in double figures and no one will finish with more than 13 points.

I'm going with the aforementioned Carr, Akins, Booker, Tre Holloman, Richardson, and Jeremy Fears. We could even see Frankie Fidler have a solid game because, well, he needs one.

No matter how it happens, Michigan State will have six double-digit scorers.
