No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks usually post college basketball lines the day before; a few small-conference games get one only on game day or not at all. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Not a promise: a 86% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.

Advantages Why Michigan State can win

  1. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Michigan State about 4.4 points stronger over recent games.
  2. Home court: Michigan State play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
  3. Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Michigan State 19th (+15.5), Quinnipiac 141st (+2.2) of 365.
  4. Recent scoring margins: worth about 2.0 points to Michigan State in our ratings.
  5. Team matchup: where Michigan State can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (10th of 365) meets the Quinnipiac defensive rebounding (253rd), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances.
  6. Star matchup: Best player against best player, Jeremy Fears Jr. (Michigan State: 15.2 pts, 2.4 reb, 9.4 ast, Game Score 14.9) has the edge on Amarri Monroe (Quinnipiac: 15.6 pts, 8.3 reb, 2.2 ast, Game Score 12.0).
  7. Simulation: Michigan State win 4,295 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Michigan State may not

  1. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Michigan State lose by 3 or more.
  2. Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Quinnipiac 130th (15.9), Michigan State 219th (17.2) of 365.
  3. Weak spot: Michigan State rank 297th of 365 in turnovers forced per 100 possessions (14.9).
  4. Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
  5. Team matchup: where Quinnipiac can push back. Their ball pressure (126th of 365) meets the Michigan State ball security (219th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Michigan State on paper, but Amarri Monroe (15.6 pts, 8.3 reb, 2.2 ast, Game Score 12.0) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Quinnipiac win 705 of 5,000 simulations (14%). A 86% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.
