Michigan State basketball: 3 bold predictions vs. high-scoring Iowa

2. At least four Spartans will hit two-plus 3-pointers

Let's face it, Iowa has one of the worst defenses not only in the Big Ten, but in all of major college basketball. In fact, the Hawkeyes have the lowest-rated defense in the league and it happens to be one of the worst in all of the power conferences.

That's going to play into the favor of Michigan State.

The ball movement will be on point on Tuesday night as AJ Hoggard will be an elite facilitator, finishing with eight assists, and Tre Holloman will come in to add five while Tyson Walker has three. Malik Hall will even get into the passing act with three assists of his own because, well, the Iowa defense gets lost easily and guys will be open on the perimeter.

This mediocre defense is going to allow the Spartans to finally get hot from 3-point range and they'll hit over 10 as a team but most impressively, at least four players will finish with at least two of their own. I'm going with Tyson Walker, Jaden Akins, Tre Holloman, and Xavier Booker. I do think Malik Hall and AJ Hoggard will also add one each.
