The Michigan State Spartans and Indiana Hoosiers meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

The Michigan State Spartans need a win after losing six of their last eight games. The Michigan State Spartans are averaging 70.4 points on 42.2 percent shooting and allowing 71.7 points on 42.6 percent shooting. Aaron Henry is averaging 14 points and 3.8 assists while Joey Hauser is averaging 12 points and 8.5 rebounds. Rocket Watts is dishing 3.6 assists and Joshua Langford is grabbing 2.2 rebounds. The Michigan State Spartans are shooting 32.9 percent from beyond the arc and 73.4 percent from the free throw line. The Michigan State Spartans are allowing 32.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.8 rebounds per game. 

The Indiana Hoosiers look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Indiana Hoosiers are averaging 72.6 points on 44.9 percent shooting and allowing 69.3 points on 41.9 percent shooting. Trayce Jackson-Davis is averaging 20.5 points and 9.2 rebounds while Armaan Franklin is averaging 12.7 points and 1.9 assists. Al Durham is the third double-digit scorer and Race Thompson is grabbing 6.8 rebounds. The Indiana Hoosiers are shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 66.5 percent from the free throw line. The Indiana Hoosiers are allowing 33.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.4 rebounds per game.

The Spartans are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games overall. The Hoosiers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games. The under is 7-2 in Spartans last 9 overall. The over is 4-1-1 in Hoosiers last 6 overall. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Michigan State Spartans are not only losing their last five games by an average of 6.8 points while shooting 39.9 percent from the field, but they’re just 4-15 against the spread on the season. The Indiana Hoosiers have had issues with consistency, but they win at home by an average of six points while shooting 46.8 precent from the field. Backing MSU in its current form is a tough sell. It’s the Hoosiers and the chalk or pass for me.
