Michigan State has five players scoring in double-figures, pounding the glass with seniors 6-11 Carson Cooper (12 ppg) and 6-9 Jaxon Kohler (14.3 ppg, 13.3 rpg). While the Spartans can play any style, Kentucky plays an uptempo style, averaging 92.8 points while shooting 52.3%. That attacking style can come at a cost defensively, as was evident in a 96-88 loss to No. 12 Louisville. Kentucky is 3-1 OVER the total, part of a 12-9 run OVER. Take Michigan State/Kentucky OVER the total.
