On the season Minnesota is 13-7 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 8-7 and Michigan State is 7-11-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 9-9.
Earlier this season at Minnesota the Golden Gophers beat the Spartans 76-63.
MSU may be a little shorthanded in this game, as guards Gary Harris (12.8 ppg) and Travis Trice (5.5 ppg) are questionable for this game with injuries.
Michigan State is undefeated at home this season (13-0) and they have won 13 straight at home facing Minnesota.
The Golden Gophers have lost 3 straight road games and they need to play D like they did in their last win over Iowa where they held the Hawkeyes to 36.2% shooting. [ad-6571516]
G Andre Hollins (14.2 ppg) leads the Golden Gophers and he is averaging more points on the road than at home and scored 22 points in the earlier win over Michigan State. On the other side of the coin Austin Hollins (11.1 ppg) has struggled on the road this season only averaging 8 ppg.
Keith Appling (14 ppg) leads the Spartans in scoring and if 2nd leading scorer Harris cannot go tonight MSU will have to play solid D and they have to have other guys like Branden Dawson (10.6 ppg) and Adreian Payne (9.4 ppg) take up the scoring slack. Harris is hitting on over 41% of his 3-pointers and he will be missed tonight if he cannot go.
In some betting trends for this Big 10 match up Minnesota is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games, 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games, and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 road games.
Michigan State is 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a S.U. win, and they have an Under record of 9-2 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Michigan State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against Minnesota.
Jason’s Pick: Even though Minnesota has been a solid ATS road team lately I think MSU will take this game and Harris will play and lead the Spartans to win and they will cover the spread.
