Michigan State vs. Louisville prediction
Louisville lost a major piece of its lineup in the first round when a back injury kept point guard Mikel Brown Jr., a projected NBA draft pick, sidelined. He said earlier this week it’s possible for him to return to action Saturday, and the Cardinals will need him. Louisville looked sloppy against South Florida with 10 first-half turnovers, meanwhile it looked like guard Ryan Conwell was playing hurt most of the game after a hard screen in the first half. If Michigan State can stay physical in the post and turn the keys on its transition offense, it’ll be a second straight Sweet 16 for Sparty. Pick: Michigan State, 81-72
