No. 2 Michigan State Spartans (26-5) vs. Ohio State Buckeyes (20-12)
When: 6:30 p.m.
Where: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis.
TV: Big Ten Network.
Radio: WJR-AM (760; other radio affiliates).
Game notes: The evening session of the Big Ten tournament starts with the No. 2 Spartans, who happen to be the No. 2 seed in this tournament, taking on Ohio State, which could use this win to firm up its status as an NCAA tournament team. And while it may be cliche by now, there is something to the notion that an MSU team truly comes together this time of year.
