Michigan State basketball’s season has not gotten off to the start many had hoped for, and now find themselves in a spot where they desperately need a win.
The Spartans will host Butler on Friday night in a Gavitt Games matchup from the Breslin Center. Michigan State enters this matchup with a 1-2 record after dropping their Champions Classic matchup earlier this week against Duke.
Butler has experienced more success so far this year with a perfect 3-0 mark thus far. The Bulldogs, however, haven’t been tested yet in facing three mid-major foes that all rank No. 285 or worse in KenPom rankings.
