East Lansing — Everyone knows what’s coming on Sunday.

It’s the first of two meetings between Michigan State and Michigan that will take place in the final two weeks of the regular season. For the last couple of months, it’s what fans of both teams have been pointing toward.

Tied for first place in the Big Ten and both ranked in the top 10 in the nation, the game in Ann Arbor this weekend followed by the rematch March 9 in East Lansing are among the most highly anticipated games between the rivals in recent memory.
