Our New Mexico vs Michigan St. Prediction
While New Mexico did well to beat Marquette in the opening round, Michigan State looks to be a much tougher test. The Spartans not only rank inside the top 50 in scoring defense but they are holding their opponents to 40.2% from the field (21st in the country) and 27.7% from the three-point line (1st in the country).
This game could be close for a half but like Michigan State’s first game, they should pull away in the second half to win comfortably. For that reason, our New Mexico Lobos vs Michigan State Spartans prediction is Michigan State -7.5.Jackpot Pools
