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.
