When it comes to Michigan basketball, there is no game quite like Michigan State and Sunday, the Wolverines and Spartans will battle in the first of two games between the rivals down the stretch.
This game is always high stakes. Both Michigan basketball and Michigan State are regulars in the NCAA tournament and contenders in the Big Ten. But this time, the stakes are even higher as the Wolverines and Spartans are tied for first in the conference along with Purdue.
The winner of this game might be in the driver’s seat to at least tie Purdue for a co-Big Ten championship.
