Not only is this a rivalry game, but it’s clear at this point these are two of the top four, five teams in the Big Ten Conference. Coaches come and go, but Tom Izzo (23 seasons at Michigan State) and John Beilein (11 years at Michigan) are standing the test of time and are consistently in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan’s had a treacherous schedule. They lost at home to Purdue on Tuesday by just one point.
