Stephen Nover's CBB Game of the Week
(NCAAB) Indiana vs. Michigan State, 01/19/2018 2:00 PM, Score: 57 - 85
Point Spread: 15.50 | -110.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Loss
There are a lot of peaks and valleys during the long college basketball season. Right now Indiana is playing well and Michigan State isn't.

The Hoosiers have won five of their last six, including their last three. Indiana is playing tremendous defense, getting strong play from Juwan Morgan and rebounding production from its guards.

Michigan State would be 0-3 in its last three games if not for a home overtime victory against Rutgers.

The Spartans are 1-6 ATS the past seven times playing an above .500 opponent. They are going to look to run more being at home. Indiana, though, ranks No. 2 in the Big Ten in steals and turnover margin at plus 3.7. Michigan State, by contrast, ranks near the bottom in turnover margin at minus 3.2.

The Hooisers have covered the past five times they've met opponents with a winning percentage above .600. They have stepped up their play enough where they can be trusted to hang in on the road against the Spartans especially taking this big of a number.
