Michigan State will miss Kalin Lucas, the engine of their offense last season, but that could pave the way for the Spartans frontcourt to shine. Forward Draymond Green is an inside and outside threat, knocking down more than one three-pointer per game last season while also pulling in 8.6 rebounds per contest. Small forward recruit Branden Dawson is one of the top recruits in the nation, and Tom Izzo always manages to turn his team into late-season contenders.
1. Michigan St +11.0 - LOSER ( by 1 point sigh...)
