Michigan State at Bradley

Bradley has gotten off to a fast start at 6-2, but notably over mostly inferior competition. Bradley has to rely on guard play to get them by as their interior is very inexperienced. A top 25 recruiting class has yet to gel as Tyrone Cole-Scott hasn't found the rim at long distance. Michigan State has returned all five starters from a 23-win team a year ago. This is a team with Final Four potential, and if that is the case you simply can't go to Bradley and not come up with a convincing win. Morgan and Neitzel can match the strong guard play of Bradley, but Michigan State has the horses inside to make the difference and more depth. They shoot over 50% as a team and hold opponents to 37%, and 30 beyond the arc, so Bradley will not be getting easy looks and, quite simply, if their guards don't have big games they have no chance.
