Mark your calendars.
Michigan, the reigning Big Ten tournament champion, and Michigan State, a preseason favorite to win the NCAA title, will clash in their lone rivalry game this season on Saturday, Jan. 13 at the Breslin Center.
The Big Ten released the conference schedules on Wednesday.
It's the second time in three seasons the Spartans and Wolverines will meet just once during Big Ten play. Michigan and Michigan State split their home-and-home series last season, with each team winning at home.
In another scheduling quirk with the Big Ten tournament being held a week earlier at Madison Square Garden, all teams will play a conference game at home and one on the road in the first week of December.
