Providence could win straight up. Ed Cooley's team is no stranger to big games and this was a 22 win team last year who went to the NCAA Tournament and lost to Dayton in the first round. This is one of the best turnover margin teams in the country which is fabulous as they face a great Michigan State defense. Hence, this team has to be competent when it comes to handling the ball and only those teams that do handle the ball do well against Michigan State. Providence is a top 35 offense and note that this team only beat Boise State by 10 points who is a top 60 team - and now they hook up against a top 50 team in Providence who will undoubtedly be up for this game. Look for a very tight game tonight!
