NCAAB – FREE PLAY: Arkansas (657) vs. Michigan State (658)

I come off a very good night last night in college baseball, winning two of my three premium releases. Today, I carry that over as I am going to once again be very selective, and put up just what I feel is my strongest and highest percentage plays. Join me today with my first NCAAB VEGAS INSIDER MOVE and my first SURE SHOT release of the 2025/2026 campaign. 2 BIG POSTSEASON CFL WINNERS. I also posted 4 HUGE NCAAF BIG GAME WINNERS, including a GAME OF THE MONTH situation. SATURDAY BELONGS TO US!

As a huge college basketball fan, I am excited about this matchup. As an Italian-American, I am even more excited (lol). Arkansas State and Michigan State square off tonight in East Lansing, Michigan, at the Jack Breslin Students Events Center. Going back to the Italian-American situation, John Calipari and Tom Izzo, are two of the most successful and most popular coaches in the history of college basketball. Arkansas enters this matchup a small underdog (as of post). But they are ranked in the preseason polls a little bit higher, as a Razorbacks are the #14 team in the nation and the Spartans are ranked 22^nd. That can’t sit well with the visitor here coming in as an underdog, my friends. Both teams started off this regular season with victories as Arkansas took down Southern University, 109-77 and Michigan State took down Colgate, 80-69. The big difference was the Razorbacks covered their 26.5-point spread, while the Spartans failed to cover their 21.0-point spread. MSU shot just 41.7% against the Raiders, who did shoot 47.4% from the field in the matchup. That game was even closer than the score, folks. It was free throws and rebounding that saved Michigan State. Despite the victory, Coach Izzo was not happy with the team’s performance. The one thing that does give the home team and edge besides playing in front of their loyal loud crazy fan base, is experience. They started four players who were in their starting rotation from a season ago. This is a very talented starting unit. While the Razorbacks have an enormous amount of talent, including a top ranked point guard in this year’s recruiting class, their backcourt is made up of two freshman guards. Now Arkansas doesn’t have another tough opponent for several weeks until the end of the month when they go on a neutral court to play the Blue Devils of Duke. Meanwhile, after this game, the Spartans go up against the other Spartans, of San Jose State, before going on a neutral court and facing the Wildcats of Kentucky. They have to get in sync before that match up. There is more urgency for the home team here, for sure. Both teams began last year’s regular season, with victories over lesser foes. Both also dropped their first tough matchups of last year’s regular season as Arkansas dropped a game to Baylor and Michigan State lost to Kansas. Obviously, this is a high-profile game, and obviously this will set the pace for both of these teams. Playing at home gives the Spartans and edge, and the fact that they had a poor performance in their first outing, compels me to side with Michigan State to come out strong here. Take the Spartans. Thank you.
