San Jose State vs Michigan State College Basketball Betting Preview
In college basketball, games played in specific arenas often trend under due to consistent environmental and stylistic factors tied to the venue rather than neutral-court unfamiliarity.
Many of these stadiums, both home and neutral, feature deeper backdrops, unique lighting and court setups that slow the pace and limit shooting efficiency.
That's the case for the Breslin Center, home of the Michigan State Spartans, who will face off against the San Jose Spartans today in their third game of the season.
Michigan State games last season averaged 144.8 points, and now they've had two low-scoring games at home, including one under today's line.
Teams playing in these environments, especially those coming off an under in their previous outing, tend to continue that pattern as coaches emphasize defense and control over tempo.
Across multiple seasons, these venues have shown a reliable tendency toward lower-scoring outcomes, making the under a favorable position in stadiums where shooting rhythm and offensive flow are historically harder to sustain.
Michigan State started the season 2-0, and forward Coen Carr leads the team with 13.5 points per game.
The previous contest at the Breslin Center last Saturday produced a total of 135 points between the Spartans and the Arkansas Razorbacks.
This aligns with our Bet Labs recommendation to back the under on Thursday.
My Pick: Under 142.5
