Michigan State was the big favorite in their most recent game, and for good reason. They put a hurting on the Braves at home to the tune of 81-49. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 15 more assists than your opponent, as Michigan State did.

Meanwhile, Arizona put another one in the bag on Sunday to keep their perfect season alive. They steamrolled past the Mavericks 101-56 at home.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Arizona to victory, but perhaps none more so than Pelle Larsson, who scored 13 points along with 3 steals. Another player making a difference was Oumar Ballo, who scored 15 points.

The Spartans now have a winning record of 3-2. As for the Wildcats, their victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-0.

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 39.6 rebounds per game.
