Michigan State opens as slight favorite in B1G Tournament title game
Published:
Michigan State has opened as a slim favorite in the B1G Tournament title game over Michigan.
Per Bovada, the Spartans are a one-point favorite over the Wolverines heading into Sunday’s championship game. Michigan State and Michigan have played twice this season, with the Spartans winning both contests.
MSU claimed the season finale matchup in East Lansing, which also led to a B1G regular season title. Michigan, however, has won 10 straight games in the B1G Tournament and is looking to win its third straight tournament title.
Per Bovada:
Michigan State -1 Michigan
