Michigan State’s time at the top of the college basketball rankings didn’t last long, but that hardly means the run of games against some of the best teams in the nation is changing.

Coming off Sunday’s one-sided victory at home over Binghamton, No. 3 Michigan State now heads to Newark, N.J., where it will take on No. 12 Seton Hall at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Prudential Center as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, a collaborative event between the Big Ten and the Big East.

It’s the first time Michigan State (1-1) has played in the event, and the Spartans are jumping with a true road game against a huge opponent.
