#1 CBB Game of the Week
(8-0 Saturday!) **EARLY**

Play on Michigan State at 12:00 ET. Good things come to those who wait. This game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but considering how badly Michigan State wants a piece of Purdue, the Spartans are more than happy to wait the extra day. Last month, MSU suffered its worst league loss in more than a year at West Lafayette as Purdue held them to a season-low 32.7% shooting in a 72-54 Boilermakers win. That win put Purdue just a game behind Michigan State in the race for the Big Ten title, but the Spartans have refused to give up first place, winning their last four contests. Consider that in the first meeting Michigan State trailed by just three at halftime despite F Morgan being sick and playing just 60% of his normal minutes. The team's top scorer last season, Morgan has scored 14 points each of the last two games. That's a good sign. What's a bad sign is that Purdue lost to Northwestern last time out. Izzo will have his team's earlier loss to the Boilermakers + a poor showing last time out vs. last place Indiana fresh on his players minds. Purdus is just 9-26 ATS as a road underdog since 1997. Over that same time, Michigan State is 21-9 ATS playing with same season revenge. Boilermakers have lost their last eight trips to East Lansing. Short number.

Michigan State - 5.5 Points
