Alot of people hitting WISC tonight just like OK ST and its moving me on to MSU. I think the only way to bet WISC is on the ML cause I dont feel comfortable with 2. I think too much emphasis is being put into the home record of WISC and looking past the play that I have seen the last several games.

WF -8

NEB +4

WISC -1.5

 

 

 

Glad to see you changed your mind off that OK St. pick last night.

I love the Nebraska pick. Definitely playing that one myself.

I would be all over Northwestern, IFFFFF they didn't win the last meeting @ Michigan. A 10-3 team at home vs. at 1-5 road team who they just beat in their house, at a pick line really isn't that great a spot. Could be justified that Michigan is steaming with covers, but who knows. I can't play this one.

Wisconsin -1.5. I'm usually all over Wisconsin at home, but I think the world is well aware of how unbeatable Wisconsin is at home (12-0). The home team has won the last 10 meetings in this series. I see this being way too popular of a pick tomorrow. I dunno if I have the guts to pull the trigger on Michigan State though.

I was looking briefly at Wake Forest, but I can't do it. Miami FL is 1-5 ATS in their last 5, and terrible in conference play. If you make me pick, I do take Wake Forest in this situation though. Lot of points to give to a team that won the last meeting, and is fresh off a win against va tech.

UNC... You think Mich St. line moves closer to a PICK or farther away?

Maybe I should just PM you instead of posting in your threads. I get a lot of my input by gauging what the forum is taking, and I know your threads are very popular reads. I don't want my comments skewing anything. That's why I usually don't post my own threads.

No i think they have already done enough by setting this at 2 if anything I think it goes to 3 to make even more people think WISC is the sharp play. As you can see the board is filling up with WISC backers early.

WISC has to play a flawless game.

P.S. I would love to hear your explanation of "head fakes", but I would prefer that you PM me if you're going to answer. I thought for a second that Louisville might have been a head fake today, but I wasn't sure.

TACO is keeping me from pulling the trigger tonight. The guy is hyping this play up way too much even though I think its the right side...

UNC,

Thank you so much.  I was a little nervous as I live in Oklahoma and know how hard it is to win in Gallagher Iba Arena.  Unbelievable handicapping.  You are a true professional.  Thanks again....

Spartans On The Big Ten Road
After winning its first four Big Ten road games of the season, Michigan State has won 12 of its last 13 Big Ten road contests for the first time in school history. In 2008-09, the Spartans were 8-1 on the road, establishing a school record for most number of league road victories.

It's All About Boardwork
Last season, Michigan State led the nation in rebounding margin at +9.3, marking the third time in the last 10 years the Spartans have paced the nation. Including 2009-10, MSU has led the Big Ten in rebounding margin in 11 of the last 13 years. In the Tom Izzo era, MSU has out-rebounded 387 of 495 opponents (.782), posting a 309-78 (.798) mark in those games. This season, MSU has out-rebounded its opponents by a margin of +9.8, ranking second in the nation (as of Feb. 1), bettering 18 of 22 teams, and tying two. The Spartans are 17-1 when out-rebounding an opponent, but 2-2 when failing to do so.

Big Ten Defense
Michigan State's defense has been very effective in league play, holding opponents to 59.9 points per game, ranking third in the Big Ten. MSU's conference opponents are shooting .388 from the field, ranking second in the league, including .297 from 3-point range, ranking fourth. Overall, MSU leads the Big Ten in field-goal percentage defense (.395).

Bench Production
Michigan State's bench is averaging 26.9 points per game, including 21.0 points in Big Ten play. On average, MSU's bench is out-scoring Big Ten opponents' benches by a 21.0-11.8 margin, including a remarkable 27-3 edge in the first meeting with Minnesota. Draymond Green (10.4 ppg) and Durrell Summers (10.2 ppg) average in double figures off the bench, while Green is also MSU's leading rebounder.

Turnovers, Defense Make A Difference
Two key factors have emerged as a difference between winning and losing for Michigan State: turnovers and field-goal percentage defense. The Spartans are averaging 18.7 turnovers in their three losses, including 23 vs. Florida and 22 vs. Texas, leading to 19.3 points for the opponent per game. In 19 wins, MSU is averaging just 13.7 turnovers, leading to just 14.0 opponent points. Defensively, MSU is 15-0 when holding teams below 41 percent shooting, but 4-3 when an opponent shoots above 41 percent. With North Carolina (.579) and Texas (.561) both shooting well above 50 percent, the Spartans are allowing opponents to shoot .514 in their losses, compared to .376 in victory.

Can't argue with that exellent points outside of this thread as well as you have just made me go from leaningMSU to start and then leaning wiscy. Then I shoot over to the one of the most informative threads on covers and got swayed back to MSU... A+ post brother

I might be thinking into this to much but msu went into minnesota as I think about a 2 point dog and squeaked out the outright win by 1.  Wisconsin is a much more hostile environment and a better team overall than minnesota.  Like I said though could be overthinking this one.  Wisconsin is a monster at home.  They've beaten the likes of duke, ohio st., purdue, marquette all at home.  When was the last time the badgers lost to MSU on their home floor??? It's been at least 5 years.  Couldn't find the actual stat.

Michigan State knows what it takes to win on the road with big wins over Michigan and Minnesota. This is a toss-up, I believe, but slightly leaning to Wisonsin based on their home record.

All 5 of those wins included Leuer. He is a big piece that we all keep denying. Not sure but I am sure it has been a long time.
