| CBB | (803) Michigan State at (804) Purdue: Spread | 8:00pm EST - Feb 26/2026 |
The PLAY: Michigan State +7.5 (-115)
Michigan State +7.5 is playable because the Spartans are too solid defensively to be written off as a touchdown‑plus underdog, even in Mackey. They’re holding Big Ten opponents to 65.8 ppg on 40.1% shooting, the best defensive FG% in the league, and they rebound well enough to keep Purdue from piling up second‑chance points. Purdue is elite offensively, but they’re also allowing 70.9 ppg in conference play and giving up 46.4% from the field, which gives MSU enough room to stay inside the number. Michigan State’s balanced scoring, strong free‑throw shooting, and top‑tier assist rate help them avoid the long droughts that Purdue usually uses to break games open. With MSU’s defense traveling well and Purdue’s own defensive cracks showing, +7.5 is simply too many points for a team this disciplined and physical.
