This season’s road edition of the Michigan-Michigan State basketball rivalry promises to be electric.
After stumbling through the non-conference slate — topped off by a stunning loss to Central Michigan — the Michigan Wolverines have hit the ground running in Big Ten play. Michigan mauled Maryland, holding the Terps to just 13 points in the first half, and dispatched a tournament-caliber Penn State team on Wednesday night.
On the other side, Michigan State started the season with its proverbial hair on fire, beating perennial blue bloods Kentucky and Villanova.
