No one outside of Michigan State’s locker room is expecting a Spartan win at No. 7 Michigan on Sunday. There’s a big difference between not believing in this team and just realizing it may not have enough dogs to take to the fight.
Michigan State will be an underdog when these two teams face off in Ann Arbor and that’s likely because of injuries to Josh Langford and Nick Ward, knocking two sure starters and 15-plus point scorers out of the lineup.
But even if Ward and Langford were both healthy, the biggest matchup of the game would take place at point guard between Cassius Winston and Zavier Simpson.
