The Michigan State Spartans have had a couple of weeks off due to COVID and are coming off a 55-54 loss to Purdue. As a team, the Spartans are putting up 76 points a game and they are shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 71.3 points a game and their opponents are shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from deep. The offense is led by Aaron Henry with 13.9 points and he dishes out 3.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds a game. Joey Hauser adds 11.8 points and 8.1 rebounds a game while Rocket Watts chips in 9.7 points a game.


The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are coming off a 74-70 win over Indiana. The offense is led by Ron Harper Jr. 18.3 and 6.5 rebounds a game. Jacob Young adds 14.6 points and he dishes out 4.1 assists. Montez Mathis chips in 11.3 points. As a team, the Scarlet Knights are putting up 73.4 points a game and they are shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 71.1 points a game and their opponents are shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 33.4 percent from deep.

Michigan State has not played in three weeks so I can see them struggling on the offensive end. Rutgers is coming off a nice win over Indiana and should have some confidence coming into this game. Ron Harper Jr. and Jacob Young give Rutgers a nice one-two scoring punch. Michigan State has struggled on the offensive end at times and the layoff won't help with that.

Play on Rutgers.
