season tipped off on Monday, but over the first few days, there weren’t any high-profile matchups. That changes on Friday with a big slate of games featuring teams that can make some noise in the NCAA Tournament.Gonzaga vs. Michigan State prediction

Chet Holmgren is gone but Gonzaga will still be tough down low with Drew Timme returning for what seems like his 12th season in Spokane. The Bulldogs also made an underrated splash in the transfer portal by adding former Chattanooga star Malachi Smith . Bottom line: The Zags are still loaded.One thing to watch in this game early is the pace. Michigan State can usually play fast or slow under Tom Izzo, but the Spartans don’t want to get into a track meet with Gonzaga.
Michigan State brought in eight top-100 recruits and I expect the Spartans to get better during conference play. However, right now, Gonzaga looks to be the superior team. I’d lay the points here.
