East Lansing — Michigan State will resume athletics competition this weekend, the school announced on Thursday, including the Spartans’ men’s basketball game scheduled for Saturday at Michigan.
In the wake of Monday’s shooting that took the lives of three Michigan State students and critically wounded five others, all competition had been suspended through Friday, including the home men’s basketball game against Minnesota on Wednesday and the women’s basketball at Purdue.
"The safety and physical and mental well-being of our students and staff is the primary focus of Michigan State athletics," Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller said in a statement.
