New Mexico State vs Michigan State Betting
The breakdown: Michigan State is a pesky team, and head coach Tom Izzo always has the Spartans ready for the postseason.
The Aggies won the WAC Tournament, but Michigan State remains a 13.5 point favorite.
Why Michigan State will win: Michigan State is among the nation’s elite in offensive rebounding, and will be able to exploit New Mexico’s size disadvantage. They will need to get creative if guard Chris Allen remains suspended.
Why New Mexico State will win: The Aggies are catching Michigan State at the right time – with an injury in starter Delvon Roe and a possible suspension in starter Chris Allen. Still, this will not be an easy win for New Mexico State, and they will have to have big games out of guards Jahmar Young and Jonathan Gibson to keep them in the game.
Pick: Michigan State by eight.
