The best game of the week will likely take place Saturday, when Maryland travels to Michigan State for the only regular-season meeting between the teams.
Frankly, I’m glad that falls outside of my jurisdiction since I clearly don’t know how to read the Spartans with Denzel Valentine back in the lineup. I picked them to win at Iowa; they were never in it as the Hawkeyes breezed to a 76-59 win. And now the Spartans have dropped back-to-back games after a 77-76 loss at Wisconsin on Sunday.
Michigan State isn’t alone in being a hard to predict.
