WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8

Brown at Michigan State
The Spartans have lost three double-digit scorers from last year's team, but coach Tom Izzo has been down this road before and always seems to find a way to rebuild his team and get it into the NCAAs (nine straight trips). Izzo will rely more on returning starter Drew Neitzel as well as reserves like Goran Sutton and Marquise Gray, who need to step up in starting roles. The Spartans open tonight against Brown in the Breslin Center and should cover the Vegas line of 18 according to Dunkel, which has Michigan State favored by 22. Dunkel Pick: Michigan State (-18). Here are all of today's games.
