A win for Izzo and the Spartans would shut the critics up and prove to the rest of the nation that the Hall of Famer still has it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not going to be easy, however.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas had one of the best offseasons of any team in college basketball, snagging some of the nation&#8217;s top transfers and bringing Dickinson back for another season in the post. The Jayhawks are also coming off a huge top-10 victory over North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>So what we do think is going to happen on Tuesday night? It feels like everyone is predicting a Kansas win, but Michigan State fans have seen this story before. Our staff has spoke and these are our predictions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connor Muldowney:<\/strong> Honestly, if you asked me 1.5 weeks ago, I would&#8217;ve told you that Kansas would win easily, but after watching Michigan State through the first two games, I think this team is better than we thought. Michigan State hands tight and a late Jase Richardson three lifts the Spartans over the No. 1 team in the land.
