3 bold predictions for Michigan State basketball at Indiana

2. Xavier Booker scores in double figures

What happened the last time Michigan State was on the road in the state of Indiana? Xavier Booker put on an offensive clinic, of sorts, in limited minutes. He finished with 11 points in 12 minutes, shooting 50 percent from the floor and hitting 2-of-5 threes. He was creating a huge mismatch defensively for Zach Edey which is why he was able to shine in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, the task of guarding Edey led to him picking up four fouls in those 12 minutes.

On Sunday, Booker could get a decent matchup against a guy who many hope the young freshman can morph into one day: Kel'el Ware. The Indiana big man is averaging over 15 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game this season while shooting well over 40 percent from deep. This will be an intriguing matchup on both ends of the floor.

I don't see Booker playing a ton of minutes, but he may be the only big who can match up on the perimeter with Ware. This will generate some confidence.

I see Booker thriving in his limited minutes, scoring 10 points with four rebounds and two blocks in 14 minutes. He'll pick up three fouls, proving that he needs to work on that defense.
