Michigan State vs. Kentucky

This is an early season marquee matchup between powerhouses, which means both squads will bring their A-game on defense. The Michigan State Spartans are coming off a 65-63 loss to #11 Arizona on Friday in Honolulu, so the travel schedule has already been difficult. Coach Tom Izzo put four freshmen on the floor at times against Arizona. The defense was great, allowing 38.5% shooting, but the Spartans shot just 43% from the field and 32% from long range. Shooting 55.6% from the free throw line didn't help, either as part of a 5-2 run UNDER the total in non-conference games. Kentucky is also young and can play tough, physical defense for John Calipari. They are off a blowout win and the Wildcats are 41-18-3 UNDER the total when following a straight-up win of more than 20 points. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
