The Michigan State men’s basketball team is headed to New York City. The Spartans will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Feb. 4 at noon Eastern Time for the Big Ten’s “Super Saturday” event, the conference announced on Monday.
This news is unsurprising, as it was rumored throughout the offseason, and Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo even confirmed at Big Ten Media Days in October that he and Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell had agreed to play at the contest at Madison Square Garden.
