Game Thread: Oakland Golden Grizzlies vs. Michigan State Spartans

The Michigan State Spartans return to the hardwood on Friday night, as the Oakland Golden Grizzlies travel to East Lansing. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

The Spartans enter the contest at 9-2 after soundly defeating the Green Bay Phoenix by 21 points. Meanwhile, Oakland is off to a rough 4-8 start, and has lost its last three games. The Golden Grizzlies were defeated by Georgia the last time out.

Michigan State is 15-0 all-time against Oakland, however OU has played MSU tough the past several seasons, and even took the Spartans to overtime in the 2015-2016 season meeting. Other close contests include the 2010-2011 campaign, where MSU won by a single point, and in 2013-2014 when the Spartans squeaked out a four-point victory. Last year, Michigan State won by 13.
