Michigan State vs Kansas Prediction

Give me Michigan State in this game. Kansas almost blew the last game and their defense was a problem. Kansas is going to have no issue running up the score here, but Michigan State is also going to find success here. Michigan State scored 96 points in the last game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Michigan State will keep it within a basket, and I wouldn’t be shocked if they win this game out. Back Michigan State against the spread.
