The Rest
-Cleveland State Vikings at #2 Michigan State Spartans

Time/TV: 6:00 PM ET - BTN
KenPom Spread: Michigan State (-30)

Since beating Notre Dame in late November, Michigan State has had a relatively easy ride. Every single one of their games since has resulted in a double digit win. In fact, all of their 12 wins have come by more than 10 points, which is quite astounding, given a few of their opponents.

Going up against a lower tier Horizon League team should be no problem for the Spartans. Expect this win to be their 13th, and it will not be close either.

Pick Against the Spread: Michigan State

-Youngstown State Penguins at Indiana Hoosiers

Time/TV: 8:00 PM ET - BTN
KenPom Spread: Indiana (-21)

Indiana is in line for a down year and that has come as no surprise to the casual fan. However, their opponent tonight, Youngstown State, is currently ranked 330th in KenPom. The Penguins have dropped their past eight games, and their only wins this season have come against Division III foes. Quite frankly, their resume is extremely unimpressive even though they are in decent conference.

Youngstown State likes to play up and down (ranked 10th in the country in adjusted tempo), but yet their offensive is sluggish to say the least. It has been hard to watch Indiana at times this season, but they will have no issue with the Penguins tonight.

Also, can we talk about how nonthreatening a Penguin is?
