careful with the spartans today. They are w/o Ballinger [severly sprained ankle]. They are a talented bunch but very thin. With Ballinger [who has been significant so far this year] they have 7 scholarship players on the bench. I say they keep their nation leading home streak alive [52 and counting], but don't get the cover. After last saturdays impressive win over then #6 Arizona @ Breslin, they have beaten 2 cupcakes @ home. Seton Hall hasn't played in 9 days, but might have revenge from last years 72-57 loss to the spartans. If Big Al gets in fould trouble, they could really be hurtin' and may not even win, but I say MSU 76-72. good luck & happy holidays to all.
