College basketball picks: Notre Dame-Michigan State, LSU-Saint Louis and more

New York Times  

Picking men’s college basketball games against the spread during the first week of the season, before we’ve seen many of these teams in action, is always challenging. The Bears could have played Arizona State and Villanova at Mohegan Sun and then at Seton Hall on Sunday, but Scott Drew’s positive COVID-19 test led to those games getting scrapped. Frank Martin’s squad should be better than Mississippi State, but the Flames, who also have already played Purdue, should be battle-tested and ready enough to keep it close. It’s hard to really know what to expect from Notre Dame in this one, whether Brey liked his team enough to put this schedule together or whether he did it on a bar bet.
