Believe it or not, college basketball’s regular season concludes this week, with the major conference tournaments next week (some mid-major tourneys are this week) and then Selection Sunday on March 17.

The Big Ten regular-season title is a three-school race between Michigan State, Michigan and Purdue – the Spartans and Wolverines could decide things Saturday night in East Lansing. First things first for No. 9 MSU as Tom Izzo’s club hosts Nebraska on Tuesday. Sparty doesn’t want to get caught looking ahead to its bitter rival.

Michigan State was a 2-point favorite when it visited Lincoln on January 17 and won behind a career-high 29 points from All-American point guard and potential Big Ten Player of the Year Cassius Winston, and 15 points and 10 rebounds from Nick Ward; Ward is currently out injured and not expected back Tuesday.
