Michigan State Basketball is in Maryland today to faceoff against the top team in the Big Ten, and this will be the first time this season that MSU is heading into a game as the underdog. BetMGM currently has the Spartans at +2.5 against the 23-5 Maryland Terrapins.

The Spartans are coming off of a big win at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes while the Terrapins barely escaped Minnesota on Wednesday night, winning that contest 74-73.

 Given that this game is on the road, it makes sense that MSU is the underdog in this one against a Maryland team that has played suffocating defense all season.
