Michigan is out for revenge at Breslin in the spotlight tonight. The Wolverines got rolled by more than 30 at their in-state rival last year (Michigan later won a close home game against MSU a month later). Nik Stauskas is hungry after not being named in the Wooden 25 while being one of the best players in the country. I'm a big Michigan fan and I can tell you that Nik Stauskas' biggest motivator is being disrespected. He will have a big game on a big stage.
Caris Levert 6'6'' is an underrated defender who will limit Gary Harris' shooting.
Payne is doubtful and will be rusty even if he goes. Branden Dawson, MSU's top defender and rebounder is out.
This is probably the 2nd biggest basketball rivalry game after Duke-UNC. Both teams will be jacked and I see a close battle here.
Take the points and good luck.
Go Blue
