Michigan State is going to look to play better than it did during its 76-72 road win over Penn State, which at least gave the Spartans a bit of a bounce-back from the previous loss to Duke. The Rockets have lost their last three games against Division I opponents, dropping contests to Belmont, Oakland, and Robert Morris.
