Michigan State vs. North Dakota State Analysis
Sparty is going to clean North Dakota State’s clocks.
The Bison’s rebounding numbers look good, but they haven’t played a single KenPom top-100 team this season.
Michigan State should dominate the boards and shove North Dakota State into a locker. The Bison’s soft frontcourt won’t be able to stand up.
The wildcard will be shooting, as it always is.
Sparty allows a high 3-point attempt rate, while the Bison have a ton of shooting.
That said, the Spartans should cruise to a win if they play their typical, consistent game.
