Michigan State desperately needs a win on Friday night.

The Spartans are off to a rough start this season, with losses in two of their first three games. The most recent defeat was at the hands of Duke on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic. Michigan State is 1-2 overall thus far.

Michigan State will now return home to host Butler, who enters this matchup with a perfect 3-0 mark on the year. The Bulldogs have yet to be tested with each of their games being blowout wins over subpar mid-major competition.

Can Michigan State right the ship and pick up a much-needed victory over the Bulldogs? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Bulldogs below:
