Michigan State's record is a little deceiving. Yes, their only losses this season have come against teams ranked in the top ten, but they have some other close ones along the way that easily could have been losses. On paper, the Spartans have a better defense and more reliable offense, but turn the ball over too much. Louisville has looked at times this season but has struggled shooting the ball. Louisville likes to get second-chance points but that may be tough against the Spartans who are always a good rebounding team. The Cardinals may be able to make up for poor shooting on the defensive end by forcing the Spartans to turn the ball over. I think this is going to be a tight game as the Spartans seem to let teams hang around. I am taking the points in this one.

Play on Louisville. This is a 6* play.
