Oakland vs. Michigan State CBB Prediction:
Both teams are looking to win two-straight as they matchup from East Lansing.
Take Oakland. Michigan State was awesome on Saturday, but I don’t know if they will be fully focused after the blowout on a quick turnaround. Oakland has a strong roster, although sitting with just a 6-5 record. Three of those losses are to Ohio State, Illinois and Drake all of which teams they competed with despite being clear underdogs. Trey Townsend and former Spartan Rocket Watts are more than capable to carry the load for the Golden Grizzlies. Michigan State likely wins, but off a blowout and the students gone for the holiday break, this game could be closer than expected.
