BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It’s a quick turnaround on a long trip, but another tough road test awaits No. 9 Michigan State basketball.

As well as the first of the Spartans' Big Ten return games.

Three days after suffering a second straight road loss, the Spartans face Minnesota at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.

“We played five of our first seven (Big Ten games) at home, and our one road game was against the last-place team (Northwestern),” MSU coach Tom Izzo said Thursday night.
