Michigan State basketball will look to get back on track in a non-conference matchup with Butler on Friday night — and the oddsmakers believe they will.
The Spartans have opened as an 8.5-point favorite over Butler in Friday’s Gavitt Games matchup. The betting line is from FanDuel.
Michigan State enters this matchup with a disappointing 1-2 record three games into the season. Butler is off to a much better start and is sitting at 3-0 — although the Bulldogs have yet to face a team ranked higher than No. 275 in KenPom rankings.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.
