Memphis vs. Michigan State Preview

Memphis Tigers (5-0) were pushed heavily against the No.2 UConn, and they passed that test. No matter the circumstances and controversies in the finish, a 99-97 OT win was a big deal. The team had an exceptional three-point shooting percentage, hitting 12 of 22 attempts from downtown.

Tyrese Hunter made seven threes alone and ended the game with 26 points in all 40 minutes of play. PJ Haggerty scored 22 with five assists, 11-for-14 from the free throw line, while Colby Rogers scored 19.

On the other side, we had a very convincing performance by the Michigan State Spartans (5-1), who routinely beat the Colorado Buffaloes, 72-56. Since the middle of the first halftime, this was a one-way street, especially when the Spartans’ bench started to deliver. They had 40 points from non-starters in this one.

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid Preview, Odds, Prediction

Just one of Michigan State’s players had a double-digit number of points—Jase Richardson, who had 13. Four guys had six or more boards, which is why this team had an edge on the glass, recording 42 rebounds and allowing 29 to the rivals.

Memphis vs. Michigan State 2024 Maui Invitational Prediction

Memphis looks very stubborn and hard, though, in our opinion, they aren’t as diverse and flexible as Michigan State. Also, we have to note that they had the officiating criteria favoring them against UConn, and overall, Michigan left a better impression on us yesterday. That’s why we pick the Spartans to win.

  • Memphis vs. Michigan State pick: Michigan State wins
