Michigan State won last year's meeting 76-45 with the game going UNDER by 13.5 points and the previous season MSU won again and it stayed UNDER by 15.5 points. The Spartans have gone UNDER three of their last five games, which included an overtime win at Minnesota that went OVER in the extra period. Michigan State held the Golden Gophers to just 37.7 percent from the field and 3-of-13 from three-point range. Nick Ward led the Spartans with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Northwestern has won nine straight with an opponents' shooting percentage of just 38.1 percent compared to 39.0 for MSU. Both teams are giving up fewer than 70 points per contest and the Wildcats have gone UNDER their last four games as underdogs. This is a huge opportunity for the Wildcats, who are seeking their first NCAA Tournament appearance in their history and both teams will be focused on defense. Take the UNDER.
