Kansas at Michigan State

The Michigan State Spartans have had no success in the ACC, but have run the table on everyone else. Their margins in three Big-10 games have been eight, 10, and 11 points. They will face a Kansas team that is maturing and can matchup with them athletically. The Jayhawks have had one big loss where they were simply a no-show at Arizona, but the other two losses were by one point and in OT, so they have hung around just about every game. This is a good shooting team with four of their top eight scorers shooting over 50%, and they have been sticky defensively, gathering 8.5 steals a game. The Spartans’ offense has been reliant on the three-ball which is dangerous against a team that can step out and defend the perimeter. Kansas is capable of beating anyone. I like them to stick around inside the number here and will back them on the road.
