The first time these two teams met this season, it was only the third occasion in the rivalry’s history when both teams were ranked in the top 10. We will see the fourth such matchup on Saturday evening as Michigan and Michigan State basketball square off in East Lansing.
Michigan is ready to avenge the earlier loss in Ann Arbor where Michigan State was without Nick Ward while the Spartans are expecting to end the year on a high note with the clinching of the Big Ten title on Senior Day.
There’s plenty of excitement surrounding this game as both teams are looking for that regular season title — at least a tie with Purdue.
