The Michigan State Spartans come into this game having won two in a row, both over Maryland, and have posted a 21-11 record overall and 11-9 in the Big Ten. The Wisconsin Badgers sport a 24-6 overall record and 15-5 in the Big Ten. MSU tried really hard to blow a 20 point lead but escaped with a 76-72 win over Maryland. The Badgers are coming off a 74-73 loss to Nebraska as a 12.5-point favorite. Michigan State is 7-3 in its last 10 games against Wisconsin and they split their two games this season. The Badgers have won five of their last six games overall and six of their last seven games away from home. The Spartans struggled down the stretch, having lost five of their last eight games. The last two Maryland games are a microcosm of the Spartan's season. They got off to huge leads in both games and instead of coasting to easy wins, they turned the ball over, and without a go-to player struggled to find good shots. You can't turn the ball over against Wisconsin and expect to win and that is just what the Spartans do.

Play on Wisconsin. This is a 9* play.
