The Northwestern Wildcats are averaging 64.1 points per game, 56.7 points against per game, 38.9 rebounds per game, and 14.1 assists per game. Boo Buie has led the Wildcats this season with 12.9 points per game, 4.4 assists per game, and 4 rebounds per game. Northwestern is shooting 38.3% from the field, 70.3% on free throws, and 31.8% on three pointers this year.

The Michigan State Spartans are 5-3 this season after they lost to Notre Dame by a score of 70-52 in their last game. Michigan State shot 38.9% from the field and allowed Notre Dame to make 11 three pointers in the loss. The Michigan State Spartans are averaging 71.1 points per game, 70.6 points against per game, 36.9 rebounds per game, and 15.4 assists per game.

Northwestern is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The under is 6-1 in Northwestern’s last 7 games and the under is 5-2 in their last 7 Sunday games. Michigan State is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The over is 5-1 in Michigan State’s last 6 games and the over is 15-5-1 in their last 21 home games. The home team is 6-2 ATS in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings.

Michigan State looked very sloppy in their last game and will try to bounce back in this game. Northwestern has lost two games in a row and only scored 58 and 42 points in those losses. Michigan State is the better team in this matchup and they should be better rested than they were in their loss to Notre Dame. I like Michigan State to pull away late here.
