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

Can Michigan State basketball stay perfect all-time against in-state rival Oakland? That’s a question one local columnist has attempted to answer.

Michigan State basketball will return to the floor after a full week off, as the Spartans head to Little Caesars Arena to face Oakland on Tuesday. Michigan State last played on December 6 against Nebraska, which was a blowout victory.

The Spartans come into this matchup against Oakland with an 8-2 mark on the year. Oakland comes into this game with a 3-5 record this year, which includes double-digit defeats to Illinois and Kansas.

Michigan State is listed as a 17.5-point favorite in this game. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN2.

Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal is back again to offer his thoughts on this matchup between Michigan State and Oakland. Click here to see how Couch believes this game will play out and who he has winning in the end.
