No good feelings about trip to East Lansing

Jenison Fieldhouse & the Breslin Center. Jud Heathcote & Tom Izzo. Steve Smith, Shawn Respert, even Paul freaking Davis. it doesn't matter who is leading MSU or where the game is played. over the last few decades, Sparty's dominance over the Wildcats is perhaps the most decisive of any conference foe, even Indiana.

in the last 25 years, NU has three wins in 46 tries against Michigan State and has never won in the Breslin Center. in fact, since that building opened in 1989, NU has lost there by less than ten points only once, in 1991.

the 7th ranked Spartans come into this game on an 11 game win streak since getting rolled by UNC in early December. obviously NU hung with them for a while a few weeks ago in Evanston. i don't expect that to happen again. not unless the whole team gets sick.
