Michigan State vs Nebraska Game Preview

Why Nebraska Will Win

Really … has Michigan State beaten anyone who’s any good?

It’s an underground hipster theory about Alabama’s win over Miami to start the season – Miami might not be any good. Bama is obviously amazing, but it might not be Alabama like everyone thinks it is, at least based off that win.

Michigan State beat the Canes. It also beat a bad Northwestern team and Youngstown State … oooooooh.

The Huskers aren’t playing all that poorly. The Illinois game looks more and more like a loss that would’ve been avoided if the Fordham game came first to work out some of the kinks, and the 23-16 loss at Oklahoma might have been – relatively speaking – among the best games yet under Scott Frost.

Why Michigan State Will Win

The balance on the Spartan offense has been almost perfect – 791 rushing yards, 769 yards through the air.  It’s finding ways to move the ball as needed, it worked out the passing game timing against Youngstown State, and it’s been able to run well in all three games so far.

The O has been better than expected, and the defense has been a rock so far against the run. Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez is throwing well, and he leads the way in rushing, but the MSU D will take its chances with the ball in the air.

As long as Martinez isn’t hitting the big home run with his legs, the Spartans should be okay.

What’s Going To Happen

Nebraska is playing better overall lately, but Michigan State is just too sharp, too balanced, and playing with too much confidence in all phases.

Like the Oklahoma game, the Huskers will hang around and make it competitive, but they’ll come up just short when the chances are there to take over the momentum.

Michigan State won’t exactly break it open late, but they’ll get the big fourth quarter drive to put it away.

Michigan State Basketball vs. Nebraska: 5 Most Important Players

Michigan State and Nebraska face off this week in a Big Ten matchup. Here are the five most important MSU players in this game.

Another Big Ten road basketball game is here for the Michigan State Spartans. This time, MSU takes on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Both teams desperately need a victory as the season comes to a close.

Here are the five most important players in this game:

1. Gabe Brown

Gabe Brown did not score a single point against the Maryland Terpins. As a matter of fact, Brown has scored only nine points in the past five games. MSU desperately needs double-digit scoring from Brown in each and every game. Especially as Aaron Henry continues to struggle down the stretch.

2. Thomas Kithier

Thomas Kithier played 22 minutes against Maryland which is more playing time than Marcus Bingham Jr., Malik Hall, & Julius Marble combined. Kithier just might be in the starting lineup against Nebraska. As a result, he must be on his A-game near the rim on both ends of the court.

3. Aaron Henry

Aaron Henry scored nine points vs. the Terpins but really struggled more often than not. Henry turned the ball over at inopportune times and also missed all three of his shots from beyond the arc. Aaron did make some smart plays, finding teammates for good looks. Even a tiny improvement from Henry against Nebraska goes a very long way for MSU.

4. Malik Hall

Malik Hall is only a freshman but he must play better. In particular, Hall must be cautious with foul trouble. Refs hit Hall with phantom calls often. Therefore, he must be meticulous with how he guards against opponents. Anything is better than his performance against the Terpins.

5. Marcus Bingham Jr.

Marcus Bingham Jr. is reliable on the defensive end of the court thanks to his foot speed and impressive wingspan. Unfortunately, he is all over when it comes to his offensive performance. Bingham could be a huge help if he remains efficient on offense against Nebraska. Especially as a stout rim protector against the Cornhusker’s Guard heavy rotation.

Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman played showed up to play against Maryland. As a result, neither make this list. The Spartans need everyone else to step up and make plays.

Cheer on the Spartans this Thursday at 8:30 P.M. on FS1.

3 Things to Watch: Michigan State Basketball faces Nebraska

Michigan State Basketball plays against Nebraska this upcoming Thursday. Here are three things to watch in this Big Ten matchup.

Michigan State Basketball travels to the Pinnacle Bank Arena for a game against Nebraska this Thursday. The Spartans are currently 17-9 overall and 9-6 in Big Ten Conference games. Nebraska, on the other hand, is 7-18 overall and 2-12 in Big Ten Conference games.

Here are three things to watch in this game:

1. Nebraska’s Losing Streak

Nebraska has lost ten straight games against Big Ten opponents. This includes losses against Ohio State, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Penn State, and two losses against Wisconsin. Furthermore, Nebraska loses to opponents by an average of 10.8 points. Michigan State can take advantage of this losing streak and add another loss to the Cornhusker’s resume. At the same time, this is a recipe for a big-time upset.

2. Michigan State’s Composure

Michigan State just suffered a really difficult loss at home to the Maryland Terpins. The Spartans battled back from a 15 point deficit only to eventually lose anyway. To make matter worse, Maryland Guard Anthony Cowan Jr. sauced up MSU’s defense. The Spartans must respond with a strong statement game after this poor performance. Watch for their composure and discipline in this game.

3. MSU’s Starting Lineup

Malik Hall got the start over Marcus Bingham Jr. against Maryland but that did not go very well. Not even Bingham got a lot of playing time vs. the Terpins. Instead, Kithier ate up plenty of minutes. Who knows what the starting lineup will look like against Nebraska. Keep an eye out on any changes before tip-off this Thursday.

The Spartans and the Cornhuskers play at 8:30 P.M. The game broadcasts live on FS1. Stay with us here on SpartansWire for more coverage of this game and Michigan State Basketball.

Michigan State Basketball vs. Nebraska: Preview/Scouting Report

Michigan State Basketball faces off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at the Breslin Center. Here is a scouting report of Nebraska.

Michigan State basketball faces Nebraska for the first time this season on Thursday, Feb. 20. The Spartans are fresh off of a tough loss to Maryland at the Breslin Center. Nebraska just lost to Wisconsin 81-64.

Here is a scouting report of this Nebraska team:

Placement In The Big Ten

Nebraska currently ranks ninth in Big Ten points per game with 71.4 points per game. Also, they are last in field goal percentage with 42% and eighth in three-point percentage with 33%. So Nebraska is towards the bottom of the Big Ten in terms of offensive production.

The Cornhuskers are sixth in Big Ten assists per game with 14.6 and twelfth in rebounds per game with 35.4. Michigan State ranks ahead of them in both categories. As a result, the Spartans should take advantage of this uneven offensive matchup. MSU can play Nebraska off the court with a high pace of play and good shot selection.

Guard Heavy Roster

The Nebraska roster is rather Guard heavy in terms of talent. As a result, the Cornhuskers are fifth in steals per game with 6.52. Their best guards are Haanif Cheatham, Cam Mack, and Dachon Burke Jr., and Thorir Thorbjarnarson. Each player brings something different to the table.

Thorir Thorbjarnarson is fourth in Big Ten three-point percentage, shooting 43% from deep. Cam Mack is third Big Ten assists per game with 6.6 assists per game. Also, both Mack and Dachon Burke Jr. amongst the top ten Big Ten players in steals per game.

Haanif Cheatham, Cam Mack, and Dachon Burke Jr. all rank in the top 25 Big Ten players in terms of points per game. Cheatham ranks 19 with 12.4 points per game, Mack ranks 20 with 12.4 points per game, and Burke Jr. ranks 23 with 11.4 points per game.

Note, Nebraska does give up an interior defense with this Guard heavy lineup. This program is last in Big Ten blocks per game with 2.28 blocks per game. As a matter of fact, Burke Jr. leads Nebraska in blocks per game with 0.63 blocks per game. So Michigan State can exploit this lack of interior defense with size in the paint.

The Spartans play the Cornhuskers at 8:30 P.M. on FS1 this Thursday. Tune-in to the game and stay locked on SpartansWire for plenty of coverage to come.
