Michigan State basketball adds another elite opponent to 2025-26 schedule

Anyone, any time, any place. Tom Izzo's scheduling mantra has struck again. The legendary Michigan State basketball coach has been known to build a murderer's row of opponents in non-conference play, and he just signed up to face one of the best teams in the country in exhibition play.

According to Michigan State's official X account, the Spartans have scheduled an exhibition home-and-home with UConn this season as Michigan State will head to Storrs on Oct. 28.

UConn just becomes the latest elite team to join the Spartans' 2025-26 schedule, but fortunately, this won't count towards the win/loss column because winning in Storrs these days is not easy.
