• MSU update: The Spartans are approaching a very sensible Big Ten championship for this team and program after a win on Wednesday evening in Maryland, which was covered by a 50-foot summer building by Tre Holloman. With 14: 3 in the Big Ten, the MSU with Michigan with the games against Wisconsin (Sunday) in Iowa (Thursday) and at home against the remaining Wolverines (next Sunday) is tied to the Big Ten classification. Wisconsin, who is third with 12: 5 in the big ten, is the only other team that has achieved a share in the title of the league. Michigan has home games against Illinois (Sunday) and Maryland (Wednesday) before the season finale before the season finale.

• Wisconsin update: Outside a loss of home against Oregon last weekend, the Badgers were probably the best team of Big Ten in February and won their six other games – including 10 points on the street near Purdue and 21 against Illinois. The 19.3 points per game in the league game of Missouri in the big ten. The emergence of John Blackwell (from Bloomfield Hills), who has an average of 15.7 in the league game, was also a large part of Wisconsins. Max Klesmit’s availability for guard is unclear. Klesmit, who dealt with an injury to the lower leg, only played five minutes on Tuesday when the Badgers victory against Washington.

• Matchup analysis: The proof that these are the best two teams of the big ten are written everywhere in the metrics. Wisconsin is in the big ten (and seventh national) in the offensive efficiency per Kenpom and in the big ten in defensive efficiency. The MSU is third in the offensive efficiency and in number 1 (sixth national). The Spartaners are the best reconciliation team in the big ten in the league game and both ends and lead the conference also in 3-point defense, block price and freewurfl percentage. With a 3-point shooting (38% in conference games), the Badgers are the leader and second in a defensive rebound, percentage free sausage percentage and defense in the 3-point arch.

John Tonje is a line backer on the wing for the Badgers -perhaps the big ten player of the year and the top assessment of the league and the recruitment of the transfer portal. He replaced the leading top scorer of last year, AJ Storr, who took a payment day to Kansas, where he did not work. Tonje is a bullet from many different places on the square. Jaden Akins will probably start guarding him. Coen Carr seems to be the ideal defense switch. John Blackwell, a player Tom Izzo, would have recognized what he would be, is another difficult matchup and scorer on several levels. The Badgers are big and move the ball well and play without real point guard. MSU knows the 7-foot steven crowl well. He gave the Spartan adjustments last year (also beyond the arch in the first meeting). However, this is a more experienced MSU interior. Crowl creates as much insult with his death as these days.

• Prediction: I thought MSU would lose more in Maryland and beat Wisconsin. It took about five minutes of the game on Wednesday evening until it was found that I was wrong – whatever the result was, MSU voted well with the terrapins. So I could be wrong here too. I think it will help in the Breslin Center and that MSU will eventually have a game where outer shots fall. With all the strengths of the badger, it is only okay to defend the 3-point line. It is up to the MSU to make more than a few outside of shots. This is a game that the Spartans will probably not win.

• Do it: MSU 77, Wisconsin 74
