    Michigan +2 vs. Michigan State
    Thoughts? Spartans were swept by the Wolverines last year. Kind of like Michigan, but I'm not sure if they have the frontcourt to contend with Green, Nix and Payne. Spartans are more "blue collar" than they were a year ago, but their defense was horrific at Northwestern and it might be the start of a little lull after playing so well for so long. Michigan got beat down at Iowa on Saturday, though.

    Sparty by 7. MSU is a much better team. Izzo and Draymond are going to have the team focused for this one

      You really think they're "much better"? Michigan beat them down twice last season. MSU is better and U-M has taken a step back, but I'm not sure there is enough of a gap to go with the Spartans in a hostile environment.

        Well I suppose I exaggerated a little there, but I think Sparty is going to make a deep run in the tourney this year.We both know this is a much different team than last year. Payne/Nix have gotten significantly better IMO and Appling has been stepping up too. Just have a feeling this team comes out hungry against their hated rival.

            I'm the wrong guy to ask.

                    Everyone is on Michigan but, I see Michigan State winning this.

                    Going against the public for the 2nd night in a row? I think so.

                      Both teams off under achieving losses, pass for me. I like the over, but no play. If Lang is on the under, I'll take my wallet out of my pocket in this one. Good luck!

                        Michigan plays very similar to Northwestern, who just gave Sparty fits. Michigan matches up better with State then they did with Iowa, remember Michigan lost Darius Morris and have a wonderful replacement in Trey Burke, however Burke is vastly undersized and was abused in the post by bigger Iowa guards. Appling wont be in the post at all, which will be huge for Michigan. If Michigan can keep Payne/Nix/Green off the boards things should go there way. I'd take the points and expect both teams to win at home in the series.

                        Go BLUE!

                            I like Sparty to come out and control the boards early....fired up with the revenge factor and also playing solid defense since they forgot how to last game. I think Hardaway JR. searches for his shot and struggles for the first 10 minutes or so. I am expecting Mich. State to have the lead going into HT, then Michigan to battle back in the 2H with some clutch shooting, eventually winning on freethrows late in the game. I think I'll play Mich State 1H and see how it goes.

                                Both teams coming off loss. I think the line is spot on. I think Michigan State has the better team but home court/ Rivalry game/ are a few factors to stay away from this game. BOL everyone who lay money on this one

                                  Michigan St wins this. Michigan has looked terrible this year!

                                  Iowa destroyed them! How can you possibly back Michigan.

                                    Well Michigan State just gave up 81 to Northwestern, so....

                                    You can't really go by one game and throw a sweeping generalization in about them. If you did, North Carolina would be one of the worst teams in the country based on last Saturday's performance.

                                        52% means what exactly? Nothing. There is no consensus on this one; the bets are as even as the line.

                                            After further examination, I've decided to let this game go...maybe a 2H play but nothing at this point.

                                                Not sure how you can come to that conclusion at this point.

                                                If you were going to play the under, the time to get it was 133. Either way, if you play the total now, I have a feeling you'll be sweating bullets.

                                                  I got it at 130.5, this number means little if the refs have anything to do with it...........

                                                  I don't sweat totals out because 90% of totals are nail biters if you watch them, this is why I choose not to...........

                                                  The game has a good chance to go under the lowest # offered...........

                                                    Key to the game will be Nix down low, he has a advantage down there. Michigan needs to hit the threes tonight to pull of a win. Look for MSU to try to go low post early on and get Morgan in foul trouble.

I don't sweat totals out because 90% of totals are nail biters if you watch them, this is why I choose not to........... The game has a good chance to go under the lowest # offered...........
