After a strong start to Big Ten conference play at Penn State earlier this week, the Northwestern Wildcats (12-2, 1-0) will look to extend their winning streak to 10 games as they head to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans (9-5, 1-0). The Wildcats are currently riding the longest active winning streak in the conference and have gotten the attention of many basketball experts around the country with their play. A strong showing against the Spartans would only add to the excitement surrounding this team.
Northwestern hasn’t won at the Breslin Center since 2009, although they gave Michigan State all it could handle in their last trip in 2015, losing 84-77 in overtime to a Spartan team that would go on to make the Final Four.
