Michigan State basketball vs. Alabama: Stream, broadcast info, three things to watch, prediction

MSU basketball takes on Alabama tonight in their PK85 opener — here’s what you need to know for this matchup between the Spartans and Crimson Tide

Michigan State basketball will battle Alabama as part of the PK85 tournament in Portland on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Michigan State enters this big-time matchup after a massively successfully two-game stretch last week. The Spartans first knocked off Kentucky in double-overtime and later in the week beat Villanova. The Spartans are 3-1 on the year with their lone loss coming by one point against Gonzaga.

Alabama is a perfect 4-0 on the year with all of their games coming against subpar midmajors. Each of those wins has been by double-digits and this matchup against the Spartans will be the first true test of the year for the Crimson Tide.
