The Nebraska Cornhuskers head to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans in a Big Ten Tuesday night clash.

Neither Nebraska nor Michigan State have started their season on a high note, struggling out of the gate. To be fair to the Cornhuskers, they have had a daunting schedule. Nebraska has played three Top 20 teams consecutively. Nebraska appears to be heading in the right direction, traveling into Tuesday night's action on a two-game winning streak.

Speaking of winning streaks, the Spartans seem to have struck a balance and are on a four-game winning streak. With two suddenly hot teams trying to improve their resumes for the NCAA Tournament Committee, something has to give. Who will be victorious--the Cornhuskers or the Spartans?

The Michigan State inside/outside game is too much for the Cornhuskers to handle. The Spartans are rounding into form as we hit the mid-point of the schedule. Tom Izzo is building the team chemistry on the fly, and at home, in front of a feverish Spartans' crowd, Michigan State takes care of business. Take the Spartans and give the points.
