The #9 Michigan State Spartans and host the #6 Michigan Wolverines in what is sure to be in epic bedlam battle in this storied rivalry. Michigan State and their Hall of Fame Head Coach Tom Izzo are sitting at 24-6 (15-4) this season. They are experiencing an improbable year. Laced with injuries including the loss of two future Pro players for expansive parts of the season.
By all account, they shouldn’t even be playing for the conference title this late in the year. The Wolverines are always in contention since they hired John Beilein away from West Virginia to lead there program.
