Michigan State basketball will again look to avoid an upset on its home floor in a non-conference matchup against the Samford Bulldogs.

The Spartans come into this game after needing a strong finish last time out to avoid losing against Bowling Green on Saturday. Michigan State is 3-1 overall, with the lone loss coming against No. 1 Kansas last week.

Michigan State vs. Samford predictions, picks, odds

Michigan State 83, Samford 72: Michigan State has gotten off to poor starts in each of its non-conference games against mid-major competition so I’m going to expect the same thing here. The difference, though, is that Samford is a true NCAA Tournament-caliber team. I predict the Spartans will win this game, but don’t be surprised if the Bulldogs are in until the final minutes of the game with a strong chance at pulling the upset.
