Bank On Michigan State To Run Away Vs. Ole Miss

Michigan State should have no issues here against Ole Miss whatsoever and college basketball sportsbooks are going to pay for their mistake setting this line. The Spartan Dawgs have been balling beyond belief over their last 11 games with a 10-1 straight up and against the spread. They’ve also covered the spread in their first two tournament games as well.

As for Ole Miss, sure, they’ve won their first two March Madness games and covered the spread as an underdog in both, however, they are just now heating things up. In their last 10 games overall, they have just a 5-5 S/U record and a 4-6 record against the spread. In those five losses, none of them came within three points.

From a stats standpoint, Michigan State has the second highest point differential in the Big 10 and are in the top-20 in differential in the country at a +11.2 point differential on average this season. Ole Miss sits well behind them with just a +5.7 point differential.

Backing the Spartans even further going into this one is their defense which has yet to allow more than 63 points to an appoints in their two NCAA Tournament games while scoring 71+ in both games.
