MSU Basketball vs. Tennessee: Stream, broadcast info, prediction for Sunday

MSU basketball hosts Tennessee in a charity exhibition matchup on Sunday

Things are about to get much tougher for the Spartans in their second and final exhibition game of the season

No. 4 Michigan State made easy work of Hillsdale College earlier this week in their exhibition opener, winning by 42 points. However, it’s about to get tougher as fellow top 10 foe No. 9 Tennessee is coming to town on Sunday. This exhibition charity matchup will be played at the Breslin Center and should serve as a great early-season indicator of how good both of these teams are.

Report: MSU basketball to play preseason scrimmage against Tennessee

Before the Spartans officially tip off the 2022-23 season, they’ll head to Knoxville, Tenn. for a preseason scrimmage

Before the Spartans officially tip off the 2022-23 season, they’ll head to Knoxville, Tenn. for a preseason scrimmage.

Mike Wilson of The Knoxville News Sentinel reported on Saturday morning that Michigan State and Tennessee have agreed to a multi-year, home-and-home closed-door scrimmage series. The Spartans will head to Tennessee this year, and the Volunteers will come to East Lansing, Mich. next year.

There isn’t a known date of this scrimmage at this time, and as always this will be closed to the public by NCAA rules. In the past, stats and notes have leaked from these preseason scrimmages so I’m sure we will get details after the scrimmage has been played.

Michigan State officially opens the season on Nov. 7 against Northern Arizona. The Spartans will also play Grand Valley State on Nov. 1 in a preseason exhibition game.
