Michigan State basketball is starting to really come together. Although the Spartans lost to Northeastern last week, they worked together to make sure it didn’t snowball into something more, beating a talented Oakland team at the Breslin Center by 12.
Miles Bridges has been out since the Duke game and the Spartans are 4-1 during his absence and Tom Izzo has said he’s going to err on the side of caution. No need to rush him back for this one if it could cause a further injury.
On the other side of the court, Minnesota is 12-1, but it doesn’t have a single win against a ranked opponent.
