The Michigan State Spartans will take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night. The game is scheduled for an 8:49 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on CBS. The Final Four Odds for the game have the Spartans favored by a slim margin to pick up the win.

Final Four Odds
Michigan State -2.5
Total: 132.5 points

Texas Tech has put together a very strong run to make its first Final Four. The Red Raiders have reached 30 wins and beaten Buffalo, Michigan and Gonzaga to get to this point in the season. The defense has been dynamite in the post season, allowing just 57 points per game in their four victories. Both the wins over Michigan and Gonzaga were convincing for the Red Raiders and now they will look to knock off another team listed on the top two seed lines.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has been here before. He has a veteran club that is led by point guard Cassius Winston, one of the best players in the country. Winston can do it all and the ball screens toward the top of the key have worked all post season for the Spartans, but it will be tough here against the Red Raiders.

The Spartans are very good, but the defense of Texas Tech will be the difference.
