What to Know
Michigan State will be playing the full four quarters on Tuesday, but they're expected to have things wrapped up well before that. They will be playing at home against the Georgia Southern Eagles at 6:30 p.m. ET at Jack Breslin Student Events Center. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Last Thursday, the Spartans came up short against the Wildcats and fell 74-68.
Meanwhile, Georgia Southern's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their sixth straight loss. They took a hard 93-76 fall against the Huskies. Georgia Southern didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
Their wins bumped the Spartans to 3-3 and the Wildcats to 6-0.
In addition to losing their last games, the two teams failed to cover the spread. As mentioned, Michigan State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 28 points. This contest might not be the best time to bet Georgia Southern against the spread since they've let bettors down the last six times they've played.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Michigan State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.7 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Georgia Southern struggles in that department as they've been averaging 32 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
