Michigan State Spartans Hoping to Earn Big Road Win
Prior to that game, Ohio State had never won a game away from home. However, they were able to defeat Michigan State at their own stadium. Consequently, it was Michigan State’s second consecutive defeat.
In conference play, they have a record of 9-8, which places them in sixth place in the Big Ten Conference. Their overall record has slipped to 17-11. At the beginning of the game, Ohio State was no match for Michigan State, who held an 8–2 lead. They maintained their lead at the halftime break, 10–2.

The Spartans were successful in forty percent of their attempts from the field, but they were only successful in four of fifteen three-point efforts. The battle for rebounds was also a loss for them, with a score of 39–32. Malik Hall led the team with 15 points and seven boards despite the fact that MSU emerged victorious.
This season, the Spartans have scored 74.4 points per game, which places them 156th in the nation in terms of scoring offense when compared to other teams. The average number of rebounds that Michigan State gets each game is 34.4, which places them 248th in the nation.
Additionally, they rank 23rd in the league with 16.7 assists per game. The Spartans have a defense that is above average, as they score 66 points per game, which places them 35th in the nation in terms of score defense.
Since the beginning of the season, Tyson Walker has been the player who has scored the most points and distributed the most assists. He has averaged 18.1 points and 2.9 assists per game. There are three players that can provide you with strong backup scoring: Jaden Akins (10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds), A.J. Hoggard (11.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, five assists), and Malik Hall (12.9 points, 5.4 rebounds).
Tre Holloman, Mady Sissoko, Coen Carr, Jeremy Fears Jr., Xavier Booker, and Carson Cooper are some of the players who provide the largest amount of assistance to Tom Izzo, the head coach of the team. During the current season, Michigan State has a 47.1% success rate while shooting from the floor.
The Spartans have a three-point shooting percentage of 36.7%, which places them with the 46th best percentage in Division I. Over the course of this season, they have made an average of 6.5 three-point field goals per game. Free throws are not something that Michigan State excels at; in fact, they have only made 70 percent of them so far this season.
Purdue Boilermakers Looking to Lock Down Big Ten Title
On Sunday, Purdue defeated Michigan at home, which was their most recent game, and they came out on top. It was their second victory in a row, and their eleventh victory in the previous twelve games.
With a record of 14-3, the Boilermakers continue to hold the top record in the Big Ten Conference, even though they still have three games to go. They are currently in the lead in the standings, two games ahead of Illinois.
Purdue was trailing Michigan by seven points in the midst of the first half of their game against Michigan. They had given up the first five points of the game. Then, however, they went on a run that was 32-14, which placed them ahead by eleven points at the halftime break. Throughout the remainder of the game, they never allowed the lead to dip below seven points, which contributed to their victory.
In addition to having 41 to 28 boards to their name, Purdue made 47.1% of their shots from the floor, including only seven of their twenty-four three-point shots. To contribute to the victory of the Boilermakers, Zach Edey not only scored 35 points but also grabbed 15 rebounds.
During the current season, Purdue has an average scoring rate of 84.8 points per game, which places them tenth in the nation in terms of attack. During the current season, the Boilermakers have a ninth-place average of 40.9 rebounds per game, while they have a fifth-place average of 18.4 assists per game.
Purdue is a strong team when it comes to defense. They have a scoring defense that allows 70.1 points per night, which places them 123rd in the nation in terms of scoring defense. Throughout the course of this season, Zach Edey has been the greatest player on the squad in terms of scoring 23.7 points, grabbing 11.8 rebounds, and blocking 2.2 shots per game.
If you take into consideration the number of points scored, Fletcher Loyer (10.1) and Braden Smith (12.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists) are the prospects for the remainder of this season.
Caleb Furst, Mason Gillis, Trey Kaufman-Renn, Ethan Morton, and Brian Waddell are the players that Matt Painter would want to see appear more frequently in the future. Their assistance is available on both sides of the court. In addition to bringing 13 points and 2.8 boards to the club, graduate transfer Lance Jones hails from Southern Illinois High School.
Will Berg, Camden Heide, and Myles Colvin, all of whom are first-year students, are all contributing to the mix and making an impact. During the current season, Purdue has a shooting percentage of 49.1% from the floor, which places them in 15th place in Division I.
The Boilermakers have a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%, which places them in third place among all teams in the country.
They make an average of 8.5 three-pointers per game each and every night. As of this year, Purdue has made 72.2% of its free throws, which places them above the average at the free throw line.
Best Bet for this Game
The Michigan State Spartans are coming into this game after suffering consecutive losses, one of which being a humiliating loss to Ohio State, in which they blew a 12-point lead at home in the final 11 minutes of the game. Despite the fact that they have won their previous two games away from East Lansing, the Spartans have only a record of 3-5 on the road this season against other teams.
Their difficulty is twofold: one, they are playing in West Lafayette against a Purdue squad that has a perfect record of 14-0 at the Mackey Arena this season; second, they are attempting to slow down Edey’s presence at the low block on both endings of the court.
Purdue has been able to blister teams from the outside, which is a significant improvement over the team that they had the previous season. Playing at home is advantageous for them, and the Boilermakers are able to keep their momentum going by consistently doing well at home.
