Yes MSU is stronger and more athletic. Ask Kansas how good this NIOWA team is, they can score from inside and out, and can lock down on defense as good as any team left in the Tournament. For you bettors that like records then take a look at MSU 13-20 ATS record compared to NIOWA 22-11 ATS. Really don’t think this one will be quite as close as people think, only Izzo’s great coaching keeps this one under 10. Late NIOWA very skilled offense will knock down some key threes and win by 7! Enjoy!
