#16 Michigan State Spartans (6-3, KP 4) at Oakland Golden Grizzlies (5-5, KP 164)

11am | ESPN2

Andrew Kampefanski: Have not watched a moment of Oakland this year. On paper, a .500 team in the KenPom 160s is not much cause for concern for MSU, but Greg Kampe’s team reliably plays their best against MSU, much the way a UNI would against Iowa for example.
Big picture, MSU needs to get its 3-point shooting in order, as we’ve seen Tillman is just not a reliable source of post offense and that’s putting too much of the scoring load on Cassius Winston. If Izzo intends to try what I think could be the solution - playing Aaron Henry and Gabe Brown together - the window for experimentation is closing quick.

-No. 16 Michigan State Spartans vs. Oakland Golden Grizzlies

  • Time/TV: 12:00 PM EST, ESPN 2
  • KenPom Spread: Michigan State -17
There isn’t much to analyze in this one. Tom Izzo is 17-0 all-time against the Golden Grizzlies and he should easily make it 18-0 by Saturday evening.
Oakland is one of the worst shooting teams in the country. They are 325th in the country in three-point shooting and 248th in foul shooting. Expect Michigan State to swallow them up defensively and muscle them on the boards.
This is an Oakland team that lost by 30 to Maryland and 24 to Northern Illinois. Expect Michigan State to win and cover the spread.
  • Pick against the spread: Michigan State
