Defense will be the determining factor in the Michigan State vs Mississippi State matchup on Thursday to kick off the round of 64. Michigan State’s defense has been excellent all season long, helping them to nearly beat Purdue twice late in the season. That defense will help the Spartans to get a win here, over a Mississippi State team that is not nearly as good as they looked during the SEC tournament last week in Nashville.
