The good news is that Michigan State can still win the Big Ten championship this year. It’s just that it won’t be coming in basketball. The Michigan State Hockey team will be playing the last two games of their regular season this weekend and the stakes could not be higher. In a bit of fortuitous scheduling, the first-place Spartans will be taking on the second-place team, the Wisconsin Badgers, with a chance to claim the conference crown. There will be two games, one Friday and one Saturday. Currently, MSU’s lead is a mere two points. The Spartans clinch the conference with a regulation win in either game.
