The "over" looks salivating because of the hype surrounding each team's guard play.
But Michigan State has the disciplined sort of man-to-man defense with which to counter Kansas State's frenetic style of play.
In particular, stout defenders like Jaden Akins can contain Wildcats' point guard Markquis Nowell, while AJ Hoggard has the strength to handle fellow top Wildcat scorer Keyontae Johnson.
Michigan State's defense has, overall, vastly improved since tournament play began: its gap positioning and ball-screen defense in particular will keep the Wildcats from penetrating the paint too easily.
Plus, this game will be played in an NBA arena.
Wildcat shooters in particular will be uncomfortable since this is their first time this season playing in such an arena.
