Michigan State vs Memphis Prediction
Memphis comes into this matchup after picking up a great win over UConn on Monday, but they need to stay focused to avoid a letdown here. The Tigers have won their first five games of the season and they have scored at least 94 points in two of their last three. Michigan State made quick work of Colorado on Monday, but they continue to be very bad at shooting the deep ball. The Spartans are always well-coached, but they won’t hang around if they can’t shoot from the outside. Take Memphis here.
