On December 4, 2024, Michigan State went to the Twin Cities and came away with a 90-72 victory over Minnesota. It was the first Big Ten game for both teams in the 2024-25 season. For MSU, it was the first win in what is now an 8-0 conference record. For Minnesota, the loss got them started on their way to losing their first six B1G games before recently ripping off three wins. Impressively, two of those wins were against teams who were ranked at game time, um and Oregon.
Now the question becomes can the Golden Gophers continue their recent improved play when they come to East Lansing on Tuesday night to complete the season series.
