It’s starting to look like must-win time for a Spartan basketball team that is now 8-5 on the 2020-21 college basketball season. Coming off a dreadful 67-37 loss to Rutgers, Michigan State might need to win-out or win the Big Ten tournament if they want to make the NCAA Tournament for the 23 consecutive year that the tournament has been held.
The Spartans will look to bounce back against a ranked Ohio State team that is 13-4 on the season and 7-4 in Big Ten play. Not the easiest game for a team that just played it’s first game in over two weeks on Thursday.
Ohio State will host the game at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio. This will be the first of two scheduled matchups between these two teams this year.
Let’s take a look at this huge game between Michigan State and Ohio State, with game details, things to watch, and my prediction for the contest.
