Thursday night we have two of the slower paced teams in the country and two Top 50 defenses you can expect a defensive battle. KenPom ranks Rutgers 270th in tempo, but third overall in adjusted defense. Michigan State checks in at 306 on the temp ratings and 37th in adjusted defense. The under is 3-2 in the last five meetings between these schools and there have been 19 totals that have gone under between them this season.
I think the UNDER is a very safe play.
