After a grind against Bradley, the Spartans have advanced in the NCAA Tournament to take on Minnesota. The Spartans downed the Golden Gophers 79-55 earlier this season, but the Gophers are playing solid basketball right now. Who will win? See what our writers think.

Michigan State 81, Minnesota 70
Michigan State was tested by a Bradley team that had nothing to lose, but I think MSU will play better overall against Minnesota. The Gophers are a familiar opponent, and though they are a much better team now than they were when the Spartans beat them by 24 on Feb.
