EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Five Spartans hit the double-figure mark as the No. 23 Michigan State women’s basketball team defeated Minnesota, 73-58, Saturday on Senior Day at the Breslin Center.
The Michigan State women’s basketball team dropped one spot to No. 24 in the new AP Top 25 heading into the postseason. The Spartans (21-8, 11-7) split a pair of games last week, losing 89-78 at Ohio State on Wednesday before Saturday’s 73-58 victory against Minnesota to close the regular season.
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for today’s Badgers & Golden Gophers game: Moneyline: NBC Sports Bet is recommending a play on the Wisconsin Badgers on the Moneyline. Spread: NBC Sports Bet is leaning towards a play ATS on the Minnesota Golden Gophers +6.5.
The Golden Gophers’ recent box scores are making this defense look better than it truly is. Minnesota has played plenty of opponents in the bottom half of the Big Ten in offensive aptitude, including USC (10th in offensive rating), Penn State twice (11th), injury-riddled Northwestern (14th), Nebraska (16th), and Washington (18th).
Atop the Big Ten, Michigan State earned a bye for the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament. Because the Big Ten Tournament reseeds semifinal matchups, Michigan State will host the lowest remaining seed in a single-game semifinal at Munn Ice Arena two weeks from now.
