Indiana vs Michigan State Betting Prediction
The matchup will feature two squads trying to make a name for themselves in the Big Ten. After a three-game losing streak, the Hoosiers have managed to win two straight, but losing Thompson and Johnson is a setback for the club. This has a significant influence on the Hoosiers' depth and makes things difficult if foul trouble arises.
The Spartans defeated Rutgers at home to get back on the winning track, and they recently defeated Indiana with success. Even without Hall in the mix, the Spartans still have three reliable scoring options at their disposal. Take the Spartans ATS in this one.
Pick: Michigan State Spartans +3.5 (-105)
