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

Can Michigan State basketball continue its impressive winning streak in a tough matchup against Rutgers on Saturday? That’s a question some in the media are trying to answer.

The Spartans will face Rutgers on Saturday afternoon from Madison Square Garden in New York City. This game was originally scheduled to be played at Rutgers but was moved to the neutral site shortly before the season began.

Michigan State comes into this matchup on an 11-game winning streak that dates back to the Maui Invitational in November. The Spartans are 16-2 overall and 7-0 in Big Ten play this year.

Rutgers is in the midst of a disappointing season at the moment, with the Scarlet Knights sitting at 10-9 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. The Scarlet Knights dropped a close road game at Penn State earlier this week, and have lost four of their last six games.

Michigan State is listed as a small favorite in this matchup. Tipoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and the game will be televised on CBS.

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