Michigan State at Minnesota
Talk about battle of the teams on the bubble for an NCAA tournament bid. Minnesota was expected to be at this point, Michigan State was not. The Spartans got a HUGE win Saturday against Illinois and will look to get another one, this time on the road when they face off with the Gophers. Tom Izzo even said himself that "this game (vs. Illinois) was bigger for us than for them. We needed this one." But if they are going to end up getting the win, Kalin Lucas is going to need help. He was the only one with more than nine points in the win vs. the Illini.
Minnesota has lost five of six and this one proves to eb just as vital for their tournament hopes, as it does for the Spartans. Turnovers and shaky shooting have been downfalls for the Gophers and they will need Blake Hoffarber and Trevor Mbakwe to keep up their stellar play. Prediction: Spartans win 80-70
