Ann Arbor — People have waited a long, long time for this. All season, but even longer than that.
Michigan and Michigan State finally will clash Sunday in Ann Arbor, and it’s fair to say they’re officially on equal terms, if not in equal health. They’ll carry the exact same goals and records — 13-3 in the Big Ten, tied for first, vying for a championship and a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Michigan avoided the trap and beat Minnesota, 69-60, Thursday night, and now the rivals will meet as top-10 ranked teams for only the third time.
