Three Things to Watch: Michigan State vs. Washington

Michigan State puts is three-game Big Ten winning streak on the line on Thursday Night in a home game against a Washington team that appears to be figuring some things out under first-year head coach Danny Sprinkle. For the Spartans to improve to 4-0, Tom Izzo's ballclub must prepared to contain skilled Washington big man Great Osobor. The Spartans could also help themselves in this game by not allowing their opponent to play a plodding halfcourt game.
