Michigan State Spartans vs New Mexico State Aggies Preview & Prediction

The Spartans have not lived up to projections and have looked lost at times this season. They rotated select players all season showing a lack of depth. An injury to any of the key seven could mean disaster. They lack a true center, but Coach Izzo usually pulls the best out of his team and needs to find that winning chemistry now. Team leader Lucas gets inside and has mproved his shooting. Roe, Morgan, and Summers have potential, but lack polish. The quick Lucious can net a three. Green is a leader from the bench a good rebounder.

NMSU has the tools to be a surprise if they can avoid defensive lapses. Sometimes you wonder if their heads are in the clouds, with so many academic issues. They have plenty of scoring options with Baltimore native Young being the key. He does everything well and can be an offensive catalyst. With Gibson, McKines, Laroche, Castillo, Gillenwater and Rahman- there is too much talent and athleticism to go to waste.

The odds makers have the Spartans as -13 -point favorites.

The Spartans will get many at least eight points from Aggie turnovers to win this one by double-digits.
