I know I picked Tennessee the day before, but I wonder if they can beat MSU. If they can do it, I think it will be only one basket.
I pick MSU +1.5.

Maybe Im wrong, but why would the line be any different...
vs Maryland, +2 pt dogs
vs No Iowa, -1 favs
TENN is miles ahead of both those teams, if anything this line should be higher

No Kalin Lucas, and they've pretty much scraped by just to get to where they are. Tennessee was underseeded in my mind. Not saying MSU sucks, and I think it'll be a good game but I can see why Tennessee is slightly favored.

Tennessee is miles ahead of the ACC co-champion and the team that bounced the No. 1 overall seed from the tournament?

As opposed to MSU, who was ranked in the Top-15 all season and was a co-Big Ten champion, yet wound up seeded below Wisconsin.

No Kalin Lucas and Tennessee did just beat OSU who beat MSU. Not saying there is a transitive property, but I believe that this line is quite in order.

missing a star player, in a fairly even matchup before said star player was out, will do that to a line

Not "miles ahead", but yes, Tennessee is better than both of those teams. Maryland is overrated and Northern Iowa just played the perfect game vs. Kansas.
This line is right where it should be.

Seeing how 65% of the action is on the Volunteers early on, It looks like the books did a good job setting this line.

no Lucas will catch up with MSU sooner or later. i think he went out against Maryland when MSU had an 8 or so point lead in the first half. ended up being a buzzer beater. so maryland outplayed them by good sum of points without Lucas........then they beat a good N.Iowa team but no one knows how good that team really is. so here they are without Lucas against a top 10 tennessee team. summers better shoot the lights out or this is the game no Lucas eventually gets them

Injury to Roe I think is being way over looked. How many of you have played sports, especially with preexisting injuries. If you tweak it similar to how Roe did his knee in the first half of that game, you can usually draw on adrenaline to get you through the day. It is once you let it tighten up over night that you are DONE. There is no way he is in any kind of shape to put up even 20 solid minutes tonight. MSU looked like tehy were playing the second game of the weekend at the start of the NIU game. They are going to be real beat up today and if TENN starts to get going midway through the game I can see MSU folding. IZZO is a hell of a coach but this is quite a mountain to climb. MSU relies heavily on their shooters as well and when legs get tired that and decision making are the first to go.
I like Tenn -2

Tennessee has the athletes to beat MSU and with Lucas out MSU is without its best player but that team has the bangers down low and Lucius and Allen outside and you can never discount a Tom Izzo team. I hope MSU wins but that might just be because of how much a hate that Orange Tie wearing doucher on the Tennessee sidelines
