It seems fitting that the second-seeded Michigan State Spartans (28-5) will get an opportunity to avenge the only loss in their last 13 games when they take on the fourth-seeded Purdue Boilermakers (26-7) in Sunday’s Big Ten tournament championship game.
The Spartans are consensus four-point betting favorites at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark for their matchup with the Boilermakers, who edged them 82-81 but failed to cover the spread as 2.5-point home chalk on February 9.
Michigan State won four in a row before that loss at Purdue and is riding an eight-game winning streak into the rematch, going 12-1 against the spread in its last 13 games.
