This has bold written all over it because the Wolverines are only allowing 65 points per game. However, the Spartans are averaging a not-too-shabby 79 PPG ... and they have the elite Denzel Valentine on their side.

Duncan Robinson is shooting a masterful 48.7 percent from behind the arc, and he has drained 73 three-pointers in the process. Four or more deep shots could go down for the Wolverine in this contest, and that is bold for this simple reason: Michigan State is only giving up 62.4 PPG.

If three-point shooting is the name of the game, we could be in store for quite the three-point treat. To make a long Spartan story short, Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes are both shooting well over 40 percent from the three, and they both have also made over 60 long ones in 2015-16.

That said, 10 threes for two players would be absurd, yet is possible.

Once again, the Spartans are pretty stingy on the defensive side of the ball. However, the Wolverines do get this game at home, and they have NCAA tournament written all over them.

Even with a three-game losing streak at one point during the season, the Spartans still find themselves at 19-4, which shows just how good they have been. Plus, they do have quite a bit of marquee wins in 2015-16.

This one not only has the bold label attached to it, but it is going to happen if the Spartans continue to play great basketball. Seriously, though, would anyone be surprised if this team didn't lose again this season?
