TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH
#650 MICHIGAN ST (-11) over Indiana at 9 PM EST
Back on track off an impressive performance at home over Oregon, Michigan will tune up for Saturday’s showdown at Illinois by pounding this struggling Indiana squad. The Hoosiers limp into this Big Ten matchup off five consecutive straight up losses and this trip to East Lansing will be a difficult one for head coach Mike Woodson and his kids.
Considering MSU owns a surprising 1-2 SU and ATS record in the last three meetings in this series and lost last year’s matchup in Bloomington (-3.5 slipped 65-64), head coach Tom Izzo will make sure the Green & White are ready to go here. As it stands, the home team has performed well when these two squads have crossed paths inking an outstanding 44-11 SU and 39-16 ATS mark in the last 55 battles. Equally impressive, as a conference host checking in off a game in their own backyard, the Spartans hold a lucrative 66-41 ATS tally including a strong 38-21 ATS provided their opponent hits the hardwood off a pointspread win. If State is off an ATS victory as well, this team trend jumps to an outstanding 22-7 ATS.
True road games have been tough on IU. In fact, since March 2nd, 2008, the Hoosiers own a dismal 52-125 SU and 70-103-4 ATS record as a guest including a rough 36-94 SU and 48-78-4 ATS provided they arrive off a game in Bloomington. Provided the Big Red are running against an opponent that owns a team won/loss percentage greater than .480, this team trend crashes to a horrible 26-92 SU and 41-74-3 ATS including a pitiful 13-36 SU and 16-32-1 ATS as long as their opponent played in the comforts of home last.
Currently tied for second place in the Big Ten and looking up at the Boilermakers, the Spartans will make sure they grab this dub and cover in order to keep pace in the standings. Take Michigan State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
