3 bold predictions for first round Davidson battle

Michigan State Basketball takes on Davidson on Friday night against the first round of games in the NCAA Tournament. Will the Spartans win?

Michigan State goes into a first round battle with Davidson on Friday night with mixed expectations from the fanbase, but Tom Izzo expects his team to make a run.

Consistency is key when Michigan State wants to beat Foster Loyer and Davidson and get past the Duke in the second round. Making the Sweet 16 this year will not be easy, but gaining a little confidence in the first game will go a long way.

Davidson, however, will not just go around. The rent and the hot-shooting Wildcats will live and die of the three and the Spartans will have to close that.

Will Michigan State be able to survive and advance?

3. Marcus Bingham records another double-double

When Marcus Bingham finishes a double-double, Michigan State is 5-0 this season. He might only have five, but he’s had two of those in the last few weeks and has been playing some of his best basketball since before returning in December.

Bingham has averaged over 10 points and seven rebounds per game in recent weeks and he was also able to stretch the floor more with his improved shot. He will continue this trend on Friday night with one of his better games of the season.

The senior big man will go up and lead Michigan State defensively and also shoot 12 points with some huge threes. He will add 11 rebounds and three blocks.
