Michigan State basketball is listed as a slight underdog for Friday's matchup against UConn in the Sweet 16.
The Spartans opened as a 1.5-point favorite against the Huskies late on Sunday night, but that line has flipped with UConn now listed as a 1.5-point favorite as of Monday morning, according to FanDuel. The over/under points total is set at 135.5 points as well.
Michigan State essentially led throughout the entirety of its first two games of the NCAA Tournament this past weekend. The Spartans first knocked off No. 14 seed North Dakota State on Thursday with a blowout victory, and then followed that up with a victory over No. 6 seed Louisville in the second round. This will be the second straight appearance in the Sweet 16 for the Spartans and their third trip in the last four years to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
UConn had to work a bit harder in their opening weekend games, pulling away for victories late in the game against No. 15 seed Furman and No. 7 seed UCLA. The Huskies ultimately won both of those games by double-digits to reach their third Sweet 16 in the last four years.
Tipoff for this matchup between Michigan State and UConn is scheduled for approximately 9:45 p.m. ET on Friday. The game will be televised on CBS.
