TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION TUESDAY, JANUARY 28TH
#630 MICHIGAN ST (-12′) over Minnesota at 8 PM EST
In a zone off 12 consecutive straight up victories and with a pair of road wars at USC and UCLA on deck, Michigan State will make sure it takes care of business against this poor-traveling Minnesota squad. The Golden Gophers slip into this Big Ten battle off a huge home upset win over the 15th-ranked Ducks and this will be a really tough spot for head coach Ben Johnson and his boys.
Historically speaking, the Spartans have played extremely well in this series inking a solid 29-7 SU and 24-12 ATS record in the last 36 meetings. In this run fighting a Gophers squad that arrives with steam off a straight up win, Sparty improves to a rewarding 15-5 SU and ATS. Additionally, inside the Breslin Center storming in off a pointspread loss, head coach Tom Izzo and his troops own a profitable 105-22 SU and 74-45-2 ATS mark provided their opponent arrives off the comforts of a home game. Finally, as a home favorite competing against a foe that arrives with momentum off a straight up win, MSU sports a strong 140-80-1 ATS tally.
The road hasn’t exactly been kind to Minnesota. As a Big Ten guest arriving with confidence off a SU and ATS victory, the Golden Gophers have been a poor investment posting a stiff 27-81 SU and 40-67-1 ATS record in their last 108 games including a horrible 5-39 SU and 11-32-1 ATS provided their opponent owns a conference won/loss percentage of .560 or higher. With those two parameters live and Minny fighting a foe that sports a team won/loss percentage of .751 or higher, this team trend crashes to a disgusting 1-24 SU and 4-21 ATS including a shocking 0-15 SU and 1-14 ATS provided they are priced as a pup of +8.5 or more.
Ranked No. 2 in the country in bench points (38.4 ppg) and No. 3 nationally in free throw percentage (81.5 percent), Coach Izzo and the Spartans will be too much for the Golden Gophers once again. Take Michigan State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
