Michigan State vs. North Carolina

No matter how much Tom Izzo's teams struggle in the regular season, they always to seem to be prepared for the NCAA Tournament. It showed again on Thursday as Michigan State easily disposed of Mississippi State 69-51. The Spartans shot 50 percent and never trailed, and the Bulldogs were held to 37 percent shooting and 22 percent from 3-point range. That kind of defense will come in handy against North Carolina which routed Wagner 90-62 with Armando Bacot scoring 20 points for the Tarheels, who are 4-4 ATS their past eight games. Michigan State has covered three in a row and six straight Saturday games. The Tarheels showed some vulnerability losing to N.C. State in the ACC Tournament as they shot only 37 percent and the Wolfpack shot 55 percent. Take the points with Michigan State as a Max Play.
