Gonzaga has reached the Sweet 16 like clockwork over the last few years, and it finished the regular season on a long winning stretch. Play: Kansas State +1.5. Tom Izzo isn’t enough of a reason to bet on this Michigan State team, which has already overachieved. Michigan State vs Kansas State Prediction: I think Kansas State will be the end of this run. Izzo deserves credit for yet again coaching his way to a Sweet 16, which included getting the best of Shaka Smart’s No. Kansas State entered the NCAA Tournament with a 9-8 record in Quadrant 1 games Michigan State was 5-9.

The Wildcats showed it time and again during the regular season. Still, I think Kansas State is the clearly better team.

I was shocked to see Michigan State as a favorite in this game, but it’s actually a great job by sportsbooks to anticipate the market’s appetite to bet on Tom Izzo.
