Team Strengths:
Every true college basketball fan know better than underestimate Tom Izzo when it’s March. Izzo will look to guide the Spartans into another deep run in the tourney, hoping that the team’s defense would do wonders for the team.d Michigan State is giving up 68.4 points per game with opponents knocking down just 46.3% of their shots from the field.
Team Weaknesses:
Eron Harris hasn’t played meaningful basketball since mid-February and he’s not going to see any floor action either moving forward due to a season-ending knee injury. Harris’ absence has given the Spartans added problems on their offense that already lacks some punch. Harris, who averaged 10.4 PPG before the inury, is one of the only three Spartans that have averaged at least 10.0 PPG. As a team, the Spartans are just 192nd in the nation with 71.7 PPG
