Michigan State basketball: 3 bold predictions vs. struggling Michigan team

1. Double-digit win for Tom Izzo's 700th

The crowd is going to be into it on Tuesday night after braving the harsh, snowy winter conditions outside just to get to the Breslin Center to see if Tom Izzo can get his 700th career win against the team he hates the most.

Let's face it, Michigan has been really bad this season. The Wolverines are 7-13 overall and just 2-7 in conference play, sitting in last place in the Big Ten standings, but they'll get up for this game.

The game will be close for the first 10, or so, minutes and then Tyson Walker will take over and the rest of the offense will find its groove.

Michigan has one of the worst defenses in the country so I believe the Spartans will score at least 85 points on the Wolverines and they'll win by double figures. I'm going with something like 86-69 as the final as Izzo secures his 700th career win, fans hold up '700' signs, and he leaves the floor in tears as his players give him Matt Costello-esque bear hugs.

A good vibe-y night all around.
