MSU-Minnesota Prediction, Matchup Analysis from LSJ’s Graham Couch

Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal provides his prediction for MSU Basketball vs. Minnesota on Wednesday

Michigan State basketball opens up Big Ten play on Wednesday night in a sneaky tough road game at Minnesota.

The Spartans come into this matchup against the Golden Gophers with some momentum. Michigan State picked up a pair of wins in the three-game Maui Invitational, which included a third-place matchup victory over North Carolina. Michigan State is 6-2 overall on the year.

Minnesota is 6-3 overall after a shakey start to the year. The Golden Gophers have yet to pick up a marquee win, and have dropped one game against a mid-major foe (North Texas) and narrowly gotten by a number of other mid-major opponents.

Michigan State is listed as a 5.5-point favorite in this game.

Michigan State vs. Minnesota prediction, pick

There’s no such thing as an easy road game in Big Ten play — but this may be the “easiest” on the Spartans’ slate this year. Minnesota isn’t the same NCAA Tournament bubble team as last year, and if Michigan State is truly going to contend for a Big Ten title then they better win this one. I think they do through a strong defensive effort.

Prediction: Michigan State 75, Minnesota 67

MSU Basketball survives scare from Minnesota to earn much-needed win

MSU basketball uses late rally to pick up win over Minnesota on Thursday

Michigan State’s season hung in the balance on Thursday night.

The Spartans needed a late rally to pull away from Minnesota to earn a much-needed 76-66 victory on Thursday. Michigan State entered this matchup as a double-digit favorite and after early season losses, they simply couldn’t afford to lose to the Golden Gophers here.

Michigan State got off to a fast start and appeared ready to make easy work of the Golden Gophers in the opening half. However, the Spartans failed to take control of the game and carried a 37-32 lead into the break.

Minnesota came out firing in the second half and quickly took their first lead of the game early in the frame. It was back-and-forth for most of the second half before Michigan State ended the game on a 14-4 run to earn the victory.

The Spartans were led in scoring by Tyson Walker with 21 points. Malik Hall (16 points) and Mady Sissoko (10 points) also reached double-digits in the victory over Minnesota.

With the win, Michigan State improves to 11-7 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play on the year.

Michigan State will return to the court on Sunday in a midday matchup at Maryland. Tipoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on CBS.
