Another piece to Michigan and Michigan State basketball’s nonconference schedule was revealed.

Michigan will host Seton Hall on Nov. 16 and Michigan State will travel to Butler on Nov. 17 as part of the 2021 Gavitt Tipoff Games, it was announced Thursday.

The Wolverines are 2-0 all-time against the Pirates and the programs haven’t squared off since 1989, the same year Michigan topped Seton Hall in overtime in the NCAA Tournament championship game to win the program’s lone national title.

The Spartans hold a 13-11 edge in their series against the Bulldogs, with the last meeting coming in a 2010 national semifinal in Indianapolis and resulting in a 52-50 win for Butler.
