Tom Izzo lost a lot from last year's team, but he has been here before, and as the season progresses he defines roles for new talented players and always improves and gets the most out of his teams. They are almost impossible to beat at home and are 11-0 so far this season, making them 28-1 in their last 29 here. The lone loss? Ohio State beat them by 2 points a year ago, so you know they will come out hungry to redeem a rare home loss. Ohio St. is off a huge win at home by 3 points vs. then No. 1 Michigan and they may have problems getting up to the intensity level they will face from Michigan St. in this one. They've had just three road appearances on the season where they are 1-2, and that isn't going to have them ready to knock off Michigan State twice in a row here. Take Michigan State on the moneyline.
