Detroit – In what's believed to be a first, Michigan State, Michigan, Oakland and Detroit Mercy will soon play basketball games in one place on the same day.
The four teams will participate in a Dec. 16 doubleheader at Little Caesars Arena, the schools and Olympia Entertainment announced Tuesday.
Michigan and Detroit Mercy will play the first game, and Michigan State and Oakland the second game. Game times for the Saturday contests will be announced at a later date – television pending – but noon and 2 p.m. are the likely slots, before the Lions-Bears game set for 4:30 p.
