MSU Basketball at Michigan: LSJ’s Graham Couch provides his determining factors, prediction

Check out LSJ columnist Graham Couch’s prediction for this matchup between Michigan State and Michigan

Michigan State basketball heads to Ann Arbor on Saturday night looking for the season sweep of their hated rivals.

Michigan State used a dominant second-half effort to handle the Wolverines in the first meeting earlier this year, but things should be tougher for the Spartans on Saturday. The Wolverines have been especially bad from home this year but did pick up an upset win over Wisconsin in their last home game last week.

Every game, Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal provides his breakdown of the matchup with key determining factors and a prediction. So how does he feel about this matchup between the Spartans and Wolverines?

Matchup analysis, game prediction for MSU-Michigan from LSJ’s Graham Couch

See how LSJ’s Graham Couch envisions Michigan State’s game against Michigan playing out on Saturday

Michigan State basketball will return to the floor on Saturday night in what should be a very interesting and odd game.

The Spartans have been off all week after their game originally scheduled for Wednesday against Minnesota was postponed due to an on-campus shooting that left three students dead. Michigan State last played on Sunday — which was a victory over Ohio State.

Michigan enters this game looking to bounce back from a pair of narrow defeats that have left the Wolverines firmly on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. However, in this rivalry series, Michigan has won four of the five previous meetings with the Spartans in Ann Arbor.

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

MSU basketball renews their hated rivalry with Michigan on Saturday– here’s what you need to know for this matchup between the Spartans and Wolverines

Michigan State basketball hosts in-state rival Michigan on Saturday in their first of two meetings this year, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Spartans enter this rivalry matchup playing some of their best ball recently with a season-high five straight wins. Michigan State handled Nebraska earlier this week to improve to 10-4 overall and 2-1 in conference play this year.

Michigan has had a relatively disappointing start to the 2022-23 season with the Wolverines struggling to find consistent momentum from game-to-game. The Wolverines hit rock bottom last week when they were upset at home by Central Michigan, but have since responded with impressive wins over Maryland and Penn State. Michigan is 8-5 overall and 3-0 in conference play this season.
