The Wolverines have been a bit of a tease this season.\u00a0 After an impressive win against Ohio State to begin the week they fell at Wisconsin over the weekend. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s CBB Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Now there is no shame in losing against the Badgers but this team just looks so good and so complete some nights you just want to punch their ticket for the Final Four.<\/p>\n Then they look just average when they can\u2019t play the kind of game they want.<\/p>\n Something the Spartans are pretty good at doing to opponents.<\/p>\n Against OSU Tim Hardway Jr. was sublime, making shot after shot as Trey Burke was stifled by nemesis Aaron Craft. \u00a0Burke also struggled against Wisconsin but still managed to hoist up 21 shots.<\/p>\n The book may be out on him to play him as physical as possible and he is going to have to do a better job of letting the game come to him. \u00a0Especially because the talent around him is so very good.<\/p>\n Michigan has lost two of their last three SU and all three ATS. \u00a0Despite their recent struggles against top teams they are the slight favourite in this one, which kind of makes me like them less.<\/p>\n This is a good team but one that I think plays better when they are doubted a little bit. \u00a0They aren\u2019t great frontrunners.<\/p>\n Michigan State is tied with Indiana at the top of the conference standings with a chance to get a leg up on Michigan at home Tuesday night. \u00a0[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n They will play the Wolverines again in Ann Arbor in a couple of weeks, in fact five of their final seven conference games are against teams ranked in the top 20.<\/p>\n To say the Big Ten is tough this season is an understatement. \u00a0MSU is right there despite playing less than pretty basketball.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t always like to watch but it is hard not to be impressed with the results that coach Tom Izzo is getting this year. \u00a0I keep writing that this may be his least talented team in a while but they keep winning by playing solid defense and making those winning plays at the end of the games.<\/p>\n They haven\u2019t lost at home all season long and their loss at Miami in the nonconference doesn\u2019t look nearly as bad as it did at the time. \u00a0They are tough to beat.<\/p>\n The Spartans will not wilt but their style doesn\u2019t inspire much confidence. \u00a0Neither does their 4-6-1 ATS record at home this season. \u00a0They will play hard but I think they are going to come up short.<\/p>\n Their offense just doesn\u2019t require the same attention as the Wolverines and even though they will disrupt Big Blue I don\u2019t think it will be enough.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0Michigan -1<\/strong> Wolverines vs Spartans CBB Basketball Spread\/Handicapping The Wolverines have been a bit of a tease this season.\u00a0 After an impressive win against Ohio State to begin the week they fell at Wisconsin over the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":23704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1415],"tags":[6986,1477,4631,2863,3722,2572,4210,4694,3724],"class_list":["post-59925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-cbb-free-picks","tag-cbb-picks","tag-college-basketball-odds","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-michigan-state-spartans-vs-michigan-wolverines","tag-michigan-wolverines","tag-ncaa-basketball-lines","tag-ncaa-hoops-predictions","tag-spartans-vs-wolverines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59925"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59953,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59925\/revisions\/59953"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
