Saturday's games
Michigan State Spartans at Maryland Terrapins (-3)
Kezirian: Their earlier meeting ended in as strange of a way as possible. Sparty led at home by seven points with 3:24 remaining -- and never scored again. Maryland's 14-0 run is just one of its many comeback wins this season.
I trust Tom Izzo to get his team ready to win at College Park. The supporting cast for Cassius Winston has been somewhat inconsistent, but I think this is a good spot to back the Spartans.
Pick: Michigan State +3
Youmans: It seems like the time to buy low on the Spartans because this is when coach Tom Izzo typically starts working his magic. This is a revenge opportunity for a stinging loss in East Lansing two weeks ago, when the Terrapins closed the game with a stunning 14-0 run to win 67-60 as 6½-point dogs. Anthony Cowan Jr. outscored Cassius Winston 24-14 to win the point guard duel for Maryland, which is coming off a miracle comeback win at Minnesota and is sitting on a two-game cushion atop the Big Ten standings. The Terrapins have been fortunate and their 23-5 record feels somewhat phony, but this game will tell us more about both sides. Izzo has been money in this type of game for several years.
Pick: Michigan State +3
