We are still a few days away from tip off between Michigan State and Bryant, but here's the betting details and my early prediction for this NCAA Tournament matchup: Michigan State vs. Bryant game odds: All college basketball odds via BetMGM: Point spread: Michigan State minus-17 1/2 Money line: Michigan State minus-3000 / Bryant plus-1200 Over/under: 152 1/2 Michigan State vs. Bryant prediction, pick It's early into my matchup analysis process but I think overall this is decent pairing for the Spartans. Bryant possess a potent scoring attack but I feel confident that Michigan State defensively can grind away at them.
