It’s hard to believe Michigan State has lost three straight to in-state rival Michigan in hoops, especially with the amount of talent Tom Izzo has brought to the team over the past couple of years. However, the Wolverines have had the Spartans’ number and Michigan State is hoping to change that on Sunday afternoon.
It won’t be easy, though.
Michigan is playing some of the best defense in the Big Ten, which it has all season long, and the Spartans have just lost Nick Ward for the foreseeable future and Kyle Ahrens is questionable, too.
Winning is possible, but it’ll take a near-perfect game in all facets for the Spartans to head back to East Lansing with a victory.
