The Spartans have shown a consistent performance in their recent games, which suggests they are coming into this matchup with momentum on their side.
In their last three games, the Spartans have demonstrated a strong defensive presence. They managed to secure a win against the Buckeyes with a significant margin, outscoring them by 21 points and showcasing an impressive rebounding advantage with 42 total rebounds compared to Ohio State's 33. Their shooting from inside the paint was particularly effective, contributing significantly to their victory.
Against Maryland Terrapins, although it was a closer game, the Spartans still came out on top by five points. Their free-throw accuracy was notable at 77 percent and they maintained good ball movement as evidenced by their assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly two.
