Michigan State Spartans vs Wisconsin Badgers Game Thread

The Michigan State Spartans are back in action tonight as the Wisconsin Badgers come to town.

The Spartans are getting back in their groove thanks to two-straight wins over the last week. That comes after Michigan State hit a bit of slump, losing two of three and barely beating Rutgers in overtime.

But the Spartans have since recorded a 28-point win over Indiana, which was followed by a 13-point win at Illinois.

Michigan State leads the all-time series with Wisconsin, 77-64, including a 48-14 advantage in games played in East Lansing. The home team has won 19 of the last 21 games played on a college campus, with the lone exceptions being the Spartans’ wins in Madison in 2012 and 2013.

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo is 26-20 in his career against Wisconsin, who enters Friday night’s game with a 10-11 overall record and a 3-5 mark in the Big Ten Conference following an 85-67 loss at Iowa on Tuesday night.

This game will be shown live on FS1, with Tim Brando calling the play-by-play and Jim Jackson serving as the color analyst.
