Michigan State basketball is back on the floor on Monday after a short turnaround.
Michigan State will welcome in-state rival Oakland to the Breslin Center on Monday night for a non-conference matchup. The Spartans were last seen dominating No. 6 Baylor on Saturday to pick up a marquee win and get back to .500 on the year. Michigan State is 5-5 overall on the year.
Oakland enters this matchup with a 6-5 record on the year and looking to add another big-time upset on their resume. The Grizzlies knocked off Xavier earlier this year and played both Ohio State and Illinois tight in narrow defeats to open the season.
Can Michigan State build off Saturday’s impressive win over Baylor with another win on Monday night? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Grizzlies below:

Game Prediction
Prediction: MSU 77, Oakland 65
How will Michigan State respond from massive success for the first time this year? That is what we will find out in this matchup against Oakland — who is a sneaky tough opponent.
I anticipate Michigan State will continue to play tough defense, and that will be the difference in a game that I predict being closer than fans would like. In the end, Michigan State makes enough plays to earn the victory over Oakland.
